Defeat to the lowly Gujarat Titans on Friday was a big setback for CSK and their top-order is under scrutiny after struggling to perform.

Batting second, the Super Kings fell 35 runs short of their target and the top three batters scored 1-1-0.

Rachin Ravindra came back into the side to open and may lose his place on Sunday, while Shivam Dube’s spot also seems to be under threat.
