In order to try something different, Chennai Super Kings made Sam Curran open the innings for them in the game against Sunrisers Hyderabad. It may have surprised many but head coach Stephen Fleming revealed the reason behind the move. He said that they needed to do something different because the trend of their losses were becoming too familiar. Curran's training has been great, so they just wanted to get him in the game and just provide a little bit of momentum at the front.
