Why isn’t Mayank Markande participating in CSK vs. SRH, IPL 2024 Match 46?

On Sunday, April 28, at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) squared off in Match 46 of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2024). After winning the toss, SRH chose to bowl first. For the CSK match, SRH rested their spinner, Mayank Markande. With the extra batter in their lineup, the decision was made. The choice was unexpected because SRH has been playing at a level with their batting and bowling.

But Ruturaj Gaikwad was clearly happy to be batting first. For those who are unaware, Gaikwad has been losing the toss for a few of games lately. CSK is unaltered for the SRH assignment, and they intend to make the most of their home environment when they play IPl 2024.

We have a bowling date. Yes, it’s understandable why this place is so noisy. Boys have a lot of energy. Bhuvi is a really good new ball bowler for us, and I just step in when needed. Markande is not playing; we’re going to use an extra batter instead. We’ve always prioritised bowling first; perhaps dew will factor in later in the evening, according to Cummins.

(Regarding being pleased that he batted first): Not really. Was hoping to win the toss, but there’s not much within our power. When we score runs against them, they will undoubtedly feel pressured. We have only lost a few crucial overs while batting when we were unable to capitalise on the situation. We haven’t had those powerplay beginnings, even with our bowling, and even when we have, we haven’t always been able to finish well. We’re content with our position overall, but our main goal is to prevail in crucial situations, Gaikwad remarked.
