When CSK locks horns with Sunrisers Hyderabad at Chepauk on Sunday, both teams' think tank will be trying to figure out what will be a safe total at the MA Chidambaram stadium. However, the surface may be on the slower side as it will be a used strip.
After facing consecutive defeats at the hands of Lucknow Super Giants, the holders will be keen to get back to winning ways.
CSK began their campaign on a winning note under new captain Ruturaj Gaikwad, but a couple of defeats have seen them slide down the rankings.
They are tied on eight points with Gujarat Titans but depending on the latter's encounter against Bengaluru earlier on Sunday, they may begin in seventh.
