Chennai Super Kings will be keen to advance in the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 season. After a disappointing IPL 2022 season, IPL 2021 winners CSK will look for good fortunes under the veteran Mahendra Singh Dhoni. His wisdom and leadership brilliance will be key factors. CSK can make Chennai a fortress and take things from there. In the IPL 2023 mini-auction, CSK made a headline purchase of England all-rounder Ben Stokes for a whopping 16.25 crore. His all-round attributes will help the MS Dhoni-led side. New Zealand’s Kyle Jamieson was recently ruled out of IPL 2023, and CSK replaced the Kiwi star with Proteas pacer Sisanda Magala. CSK have the desired experience in batting, with quality names in the list. Also, their spin-bowling options look settled as ever. The presence of all-rounders hands them good balance. Players like Devon Conway and Ruturaj Gaikwad hold the cards in batting. Ravindra Jadeja needs a defining season after a poor campaign in 2022. One major positive news is the availability of Deepak Chahar. CSK bat deep, and the bench looks strong with quality options. Here we decode the probable XI of the four-time IPL winners ahead of a crunch 2023 season.
FULL SQUAD OF CSK
MS Dhoni (c), Devon Conway, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ambati Rayudu, Subhranshu Senapati, Moeen Ali, Shivam Dube, Rajvardhan Hangargekar, Dwaine Pretorius, Mitchell Santner, Ravindra Jadeja, Tushar Deshpande, Mukesh Chowdhary, Matheesha Pathirana, Simarjeet Singh, Deepak Chahar, Prashant Solanki, Maheesh Theekshana, Ajinkya Rahane, Ben Stokes, Shaik Rasheed, Nishant Sindhu, Sisanda Magala, Ajay Mandal, Bhagath Varma
