Return of Sai Sudarshan
Gujarat fast bowler Loki Ferguson may have to sit out in this match too. Because Yash Dayal bowled better in the previous match. He is also a left-arm fast bowler. Which also adds variety to Gujarat’s bowling and could put Rituraj Gaekwad in trouble. The team will also give a second chance to young spinner R Sai Kishore. Who wreaked havoc in his debut with Rashid Khan. However, Matthew Wade has failed again and in such a situation Sai Sudarshan may get a chance.
This bowler can field Chennai
If we talk about Chennai, the opening pair of the team is fully set and is performing well. However, Ambati Rayudu has not done well in the last two-three matches and at the same time more eye will be on him after the tweet controversy over retirement. While Robin Uthappa has consistently failed. However, the team does not have much option to change the batting and in such a situation the team will enter the field with this batting. Bowling is constantly improving, so there is little hope for change here either. However, Sri Lankan fast bowler Mahisha Patirana could be fielded to try a new bowler in the last match.
