The form of the middle-order is a big headache despite Robin Uthappa soothing the concerns with a half-century and Dhoni finishing off the match with a quick cameo. If the openers fail, then CSK are in trouble with the bat.

KKR`s Shubman Gill and CSK`s Robin Uthappa
Strengths: Their opening pair of Venkatesh Iyer and Shubman Gill have been impressive. The bowlers have been efficient with Lockie Ferguson, Shivam Mavi, Varun Chakravarthy and Sunil Narine doing the job with utmost precision.
Weakness: The form with the bat of their senior players Eoin Morgan and Dinesh Karthik is a major cause of concern. In the Qualifier 2 against Delhi, both Morgan and Karthik had ducks against their name.
