Three-time IPL champions Chennai Super Kings are back in action to face Sunrisers Hyderabad in Game 14 of the 2020 Indian Premier League (IPL).

Hitters have generally preferred to wait for their moment in the middle before launching an attack, a tactic that has worked wonders for players like KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal.
