Sri Lanka left-arm quick Dilshan Madushanka has joined the SRH squad as a replacement for Brydon Carse. Meanwhile, David Payne, who came in for Jack Edwards, has been ruled out of the rest of the season with an ankle injury.
Meanwhile, Pat Cummins is set to arrive in Hyderabad on Friday, and is in line to feature from April 25, according to head coach Daniel Vettori. Cummins had flown home after the first game in Bengaluru to consult his specialists and undergo scans on his back, before being given an all-clear by Cricket Australia.
Sunrisers Hyderabad (probable XII): 1 Travis Head, 2 Abhishek Sharma, 3 Ishan Kishan (capt, wk), 4 Heinrich Klaasen,s 5 Nitish Reddy, 6 Aniket Verma, 7 Salil Arora, 8 Harsh Dubey, 9 Shivang Kumar, 10 Eshan Malinga, 10 Praful Hinge, 12 Sakib Hussain
Dhoni is nearing match fitness after a three-week rehab for a calf strain and has travelled with the squad for an away game for the first time this season. However, his inclusion remains uncertain.
CSK’s bigger concern will be filling a void in Khaleel’s absence due to a quadriceps injury. This could open the door for Mukesh Choudhary if they prefer an Indian seamer. Mukesh is a like-for-like option who has played 16 matches for the side, 13 of them in 2022. But if they pivot towards experience, it could bring Henry back into the mix.
Chennai Super Kings (probable XII): 1 Ruturaj Gaikwad (capt), 2 Sanju Samson (wk), 3 Ayush Mhatre, 4 Dewald Brewis, 5 Sarfaraz Khan, 6 Shivam Dube, 7 Jamie Overton, 8 Noor Ahmad, 9 Anshul Kamboj, 10 Gurjapneet Singh, 11 Mukesh Choudhary/Matt Henry, 12 Akeal Hosein/MS Dhoni
