Middle Order – Moeen Ali has donned the number three position in this season with 278 runs to his name. Suresh Raina’s form has been a big concern for CSK but it has not affected the team as everyone around his are scoring runs. Ambati Rayudu has also scored 195 runs in the limited opportunities that he has got. MS Dhoni’s bat was quiet for some time in this IPL, but in the game against SRH, he has shown a glimpse of form.
