Whether it is the eternal favourite Chennai Super Kings or perennial under-performer Kings XI Punjab, all franchises are in test-run mode before the bigger battles. When the two ‘Kings’ clash here on Sunday, home skipper R. Ashwin will have the advantage of knowing how the CSK think-tank approaches a contest.

The Kings XI skipper’s next trick could well be worth waiting for. Unlike Kings, Super Kings have to deal with unusual problems.
