The fans are fascinated with Hayden and his newly Mongoose bat with his 43-ball bombard performance yesterday night at the Feozeshah Kotla stadium and they look ahead to another thrilling experience from the opening batsman when CSK (Chennai Super Kings) plays host to Kings XI Punjab on Sunday.

The ongoing IPL has not observed anything quite like Matthew Hayden’s performance against the Daredevils who could not secure a score of 185 with the previous Aussie opener securing Ninety three, with 7 sixes and 9 boundaries. In succession their five-wicket victory gave the Chennai Super Kings campaign more momentum after the loss to Deccan Chargers in their opening match at home.

The Chennai Super Kings would be starting out firm favorites against the Kings XI Punjab team that is in a bit of a chaos after three successive defeats with no light to be seen at the end of the subway. Therefore, the stress is more on the visitors to pick up their first points of the season.

At the Feozeshah Kotla on Friday night, the Chennai Super Kings would have considered the absence of Dhoni who is suffering from an elbow injury, when Sehwag was at complete throttle. Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s cover, Raina, just about carried on the first half of the match that showing the Achilles heel of the Chennai Super Kings side, its bowling. It was left to Matthew Hayden and later Raina to spot the team through the risky chase.
