The average first innings score here is 170 but to win one has to make 190+. The highest score was 266 made by Sunrisers Hyderabad and the lowest was just 66 by Delhi Capitals.

Sanju has scored 21 runs in 13 balls and got out 2 times. Faced 4 dot balls. He hit 1 four and 1 six. Strike rate is 161.5 and average is 10.5.
Dube has made 43 runs in 20 balls and got out once. Faced 7 dot balls. He smashed 3 fours and 4 sixes. Strike rate is 215.0 and average is 43.0.
Jaiswal has scored 34 runs off 17 balls and got out 2 times. Faced 7 dot balls. He hit 8 fours and no sixes. Strike rate is 200.0 and average is 17.0.
Jadeja's role is very clear for CSK, he controls the ball in the middle overs and when required he makes a big bang. He has played innings like 77* and 53* in the last few matches, meaning his form is also good. He is taking 1-2 wickets in bowling in every game. He is a safe pick, he is playing both roles.
He is young but shows intent. He scored 52 against KKR and also scored 42 against SRH. But there is one problem, consistency. Sometimes he also gets out on 0. He is a high risk high reward type of player. If he gets going then it is a different matter otherwise he can give zero as well.
Riyan Parag has become a surprise package for RR this season. After the 95th innings his confidence is at a different level. He is contributing a lot through bowling as well. He is in form, and if he gets batting at the top then he can turn the game alone. He can take risks.
Jaiswal was slow in the beginning of the season, but now he has gained momentum. In the last 5 matches, he has scored scores like 70*, 50 and 49. He opens the innings and takes full advantage of the powerplay. When he is in form, he changes the game in just one over.
He is a death overs specialist for CSK. If you need wickets in the end, this guy is very useful. He has taken 3 wickets against RCB. Yes, his consistency is a bit low, but when he moves, 2-3 wickets are sure. If you want to take a risk in the Grand League, then he is a perfect pick.
He is working with the ball for RR but is a bit unpredictable. He took 2 wickets against PBKS but before that he did nothing special. He is a bit of a hit or miss type of player but if the pitch helps a bit then he can take 1-2 wickets.
Kamboj is a bit expensive but still he is trying his best. He took a wicket in the last match, meaning he is showing a fight. If you are playing Grand League, you can hit a small punt on him. Otherwise avoid him in your dream11 teams.
Farooqi's bowling is going absolutely down in the IPL. It seems as if he has not been able to handle the pressure of IPL level yet. He is conceding runs in every match, but not getting wickets. While making the team, avoid him and stay safe.
