Chennai Super Kings form

CSK put on an unusual performance in the reverse fixture last Friday, scoring 176/6 in their 20 overs. Moeen Ali's quick 30 runs and MS Dhoni's impressive 28 not out helped boost the total. The bowlers had to focus on taking wickets, but LSG was able to capitalize on their efforts. Pathirana stood out with 1/29, and we may see more spinners like Jadeja and Moeen return in the next match at Chepauk. Moeen has replaced Mitchell, adding pressure on him to perform well and secure his spot in the team.
