IPL 2021, SRH vs CSK Predicted Playing 11: SRH to stick with same XI after breaking losing streak?

SRH vs CSK IPL 2021 Match 44 Playing XI Predictions: SunRisers Hyderabad are out of contention for the playoffs and broke their losing streak in their previous match against Rajasthan Royals.

Virtually out of the play-off race, bottom-placed Sunrisers Hyderabad will hope to keep their new-found momentum intact when they face table toppers Chennai Super Kings in the IPL, here on Thursday. Kane Williamson led from the front with an unbeaten half-century to help Hyderabad return to winning ways after five losses on the trot. It lifted the morale of the side as they have suffered eight losses from 10 matches.

The biggest decision for Williamson-led think tank has been to drop their big hitting opener David Warner, who aggregated just 181 runs at an average of 24.37. This was twice this season that their only IPL-winning (2016) skipper was axed this season after losing captaincy to the New Zealander. With speculation rife about the Aussie's future at his favourite franchise Hyderabad, the onus would be on the Kiwi skipper to revive the fortunes of the Orange Army.
