CSK vs SRH: Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will host Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in their sixth match of the IPL 2023 at the M Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Friday. Chennai are currently placed third in the points table with three wins and two losses.
Hyderabad, on the other hand, are reeling at the ninth spot in the 10-team IPL 2023 table. They lost their last match against Mumbai Indians (MI) by 14 runs after the visitors defended the 193-run target successfully. CSK won their last game in Bengaluru against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) by eight wickets.

As the two teams gear up to clash against each other for the first time in the IPL 2023, let's have a look at four batters who can score most runs in the match.
Ruturaj Gaikwad: After kicking off his IPL 2023 season with a bang, the CSK opener has failed to get going in his last two matches, however, he will be aiming to bounce back against SRH on Friday.
He scored 92, 57 and 40* in his first three matches before managing just 8 and 3 in the last two matches. Overall, he has scored 200 runs in five matches at an average of 50 and a strike rate of 150.37. He is the leading run-scorer for his team.
Ajinkya Rahane: The right-hander batter has been mighty impressive in his debut season for CSK. He has played three matches so far and scored 129 runs at an average of 43 and a strike rate of 195.45.
In his last outing in Chennai, he scored 31 runs off just 19 balls. He has played 18 matches against SRH and scored 425 runs at an average of 26.56 and a strike rate of 106.51.
Aiden Markram: Hyderabad captain Aiden Markram is one of the contenders to score big for his team. In the four matches so far, he has scored 109 runs at an average of 36.33 and a strike rate of 167.69.
He scored a duck in his first outing of the season but has followed it with scores of 37*, 50 and 22. Overall, he has played 24 IPL matches and scored 636 runs at an average of 39.75 and an average of 138.86.
Mayank Agarwal: Sound technique is must for batting at the Chepauk surface and there is no better in that category than Mayank Agarwal in the SRH line-up. The opener is currently the third-highest run-scorer for his team.
He has scored 113 runs but has a below-par strike rate and average of 22.60 and 108.65 respectively. Agarwal will hold the key for SRH on the spinning Chennai surface and with his vast experience, he is one of the contenders to score high for his team.
