CSK vs SRH Odds, Team News and Betting Tips

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are the defending champions but have had a horrible start to the 2022 IPL season as they have ended up losing their first three games on the trot. CSK now find themselves at the bottom of the IPL points table in 9^th position with Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in 10^th position.

SRH have played two games so far and have lost both of them but are below CSK because they have the worst net run rate of all the teams. SRH played poorly during the last IPL season and have become accustomed to being at the bottom of the points table. CSK on the other hand are used to being in the top four and will be very keen on changing their fortunes this IPL season with a win over SRH.

This is going to be a crucial game for both CSK and SRH as it will give IPL bettors an indication as to which team is likely to bounce back and make their way to the top and which team is going to have a poor IPL season.

Our experts take a look at the CSK vs SRH betting odds below for this game which takes place on 09 April at the DY Patil stadium in Navi Mumbai. We give you a breakdown of the strengths and weaknesses of each team and share our expert CSK vs SRH prediction.

CSK vs SRH Odds: CSK Favorites To Win

Even though CSK have lost their first three games in IPL 2022, bookmakers have CSK as the betting favorites for this game. CSK go into Game 4 with odds of 1.62 on Parimatch while the Sunrisers are betting underdogs with IPL odds of 2.3.

It’s not been easy to predict how CSK will play during IPL 2022 as the sudden change by MS Dhoni to step down as captain and give R Jadeja the captaincy caught everyone by surprise. That change has not worked for CSK so far and hence our experts think the odds are a lot closer in this game as SRH definitely have a chance to hand CSK their fourth defeat.

CSK has a massive fan following and they will once again back the men in yellow to win this game. While CSK does have an edge over SRH when you look at head-to-head stats, we believe this game could go down to the wire.

Sunrisers Hyderabad Have Too Many Holes

We think the Sunrisers Hyderabad are one of the weakest IPL teams this season as they made a few mistakes in the IPL auction. As a result, SRH do not have a great batting line-up nor do they have a great bowling line-up.

They have entrusted the captaincy to Kane Williamson again and this continues to hurt them as Williamson is a great captain in the test and ODI arena but isn’t the best T20 captain in the world.

Williamson needs to make some runs at the top of the order and lead from the front. SRH also need to quickly work out what their best playing XI is as they cannot continue to pick the wrong players and end up with the wrong result!

Jadeja’s Captaincy Under Question

CSK always knew that it was going to be difficult to get a replacement for MS Dhoni as he has led the team from the very first IPL season. MS Dhoni picked his successor in R Jadeja but CSK have not got the results they would have wanted under Jadeja. After losing the first three games, Jadeja is under pressure whether he would like to admit it or not.

We don’t know if CSK is performing badly because the team is yet to adjust to the fact that they have a new captain and a new style of leadership. If CSK cannot adjust quickly and Jadeja is unable to turn the ship around, CSK might have to rethink Jadeja’s captaincy quickly or CSK could end up struggling to make the playoffs with a few more losses.

Kane Williamson and SRH should do their best to impose immediate pressure on Jadeja and CSK as it will increase their odds of winning.

Final CSK vs SRH Prediction
