Vijay slammed three sixes during his 20-ball knock and shared 45 run-stand with Mike Hussey for the first wicket after Chennai were invited to bat.

Hyderabad have made no changes to their side. Chennai, on the other hand, have one difference to their team as Jason Holder came back in place of Ben Laughlin.

It remains to be seen if the Super Kings have recovered sufficiently enough to put it across the hosts, who have been at their best on this slow pitch.

The Sunrisers have thrived in home conditions, pulling off five consecutive wins. Their rivals have been unable so far to figure out a strategy to counter the potent Hyderabad attack.

Sunrisers Hyderabad: PA Patel, S Dhawan, KC Sangakkara*, GH Vihari, NLTC Perera, DJG Sammy, A Ashish Reddy, KV Sharma, A Mishra, DW Steyn, I Sharma

Chennai Super Kings: MEK Hussey, M Vijay, SK Raina, S Badrinath, MS Dhoni*, RA Jadeja, DJ Bravo, CH Morris, R Ashwin, JO Holder, MM Sharma
