‘CSK’s Spin Strength, Backed By MS Dhoni, Will Be Key’: Sanjay Bangar

While speaking on JioHotstar, former Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) coach Sanjay Bangar predicted the Super Kings' win over the Sunrisers. He added that Chennai's spin strength, backed by captain MS Dhoni, will be the key. He added that the Hyderabad-based franchise have been ‘inconsistent’ in the ongoing season.

"I believe CSK will win against SRH. CSK’s spin strength, backed by MSD, will be key, and they’ll ensure there’s assistance for the spinners. The team is evolving, moving away from their earlier pattern with more focus on youngsters. SRH, on the other hand, has been inconsistent," Sanjay Bangar said on JioHotstar.
