If we look at CSK's batting unit, their openers Devon Conway and Ruturaj Gaikwad have provided the team with good start and it has allowed Ajinkya Rahane and Shivam Dube to carry on the momentum without any pressure in the middle overs.
Ravindra Jadeja and MS Dhoni have done a decent job towards the end, especially the CSK skipper.
