Lot of Buzz about who is the better batsmen between @DJBravo47 and #Santner and who should CSK play in Dubai. is my analysis. IMO, considering the iota of LHB options @ChennaiIPL has in their team, Santner can play a crucial role as a floater where as Bravo..

can fulfill the role of finisher. However, with Jadeja in the team, it is less likely that @ChennaiIPL think tank would like to play Santner and block one OS spot. Anyway, while comparing with @DJBravo47, Santner did have some impressive nos. ->

He had better SR against Orthodox spin, and Legbreak bowlers when compared to that of Bravo. He also had an effective MO strike rate, and dot % to that of Bravo. Santner also had lesser dot % while facing fast bowlers. However, he had poor returns against MPs surprisingly.

Santner was better than Bravo in the MO phase where as the latter clearly light years ahead of Santner in the death overs as shown below. I have also compared Bravo's and Santner's stat to that Jadeja. While there is clear distinction between Jadeja and Bravo, ...

Santner and Jadeja were neck to neck. Jadeja actually compliments Santner when it comes to countering bowling type. He has a better SR against MPs and offies when compared to that of Santner as shown . he has better dot % against faster bowlers. However, Jadeja...

is no way ahead of Bravo atm when we compare attacking against the various bowling type. Jadeja SR even-though less to Santner, has a good dot % in the MO. So, considering the various combinations and analysis as shown in this thread, CSK should start with DJ-RJ combo

with RJ batting at no. 4, DJ at 5-6. If one fails, they have able replacement in Santner.
