Chennai look strong enough against Pune to counter the home advantage that Pune have. But Chennai have not been great at away games. So Pune should start on equal footing this time. Players like Ashwin, Randiv will be negated easily because I dont think DY Patil will offer too much spin.
Hope Pune will come with 7 batsmen-4 bowlers strategy, Yuvi-Ryder can bowl for 5th bowler.
I am looking forward for Harshad Khadiwale or Dheeraj Jadhav's debut. Even Mitchell Marsh is a nice option ahead of Nathan McCullum. DY Patil pitch will offer bounce, so Shrikant Wagh, Thomas, Jerome Taylor and Marsh will be handy. Yuvi and Rahul Sharma assist them. I don't want Murali Kartik.
This will be Chennai's first away win, and their second consecutive win against Pune Warriors. Yuvraj has never won a game against Dhoni in the IPL. Chennai will go to No.2 in the table if they win this too. Clinical performance from the Lions!
Badrinath keeps scoring runs and yet the selectors keep ignoring him. Why cant Srikanth flex his 'Chennai muscle' and get Badri into the test/ODI team?
This IPL has been awesome for local talent. Valthaty, Rohit Sharma, Ishant, Badri and even guys like Manoj Tiwary and Ravinder Jadeja have all put up fantastic performances. Guys like Saurabh Tiwary, however, have fallen off the radar a bit.
