Predicted and Strongest Playing 11 of CSK
Openers : Devon Conway and Ruturaj Gaikwad
Conway and Gaikwad pairing is the most stable opening pair for CSK in the 2023 edition of the Indian Premier League. Changes could be thereo n the basis of individual form and performance but if all goes in favour this will be the most preffered opening pair of Chennai
Middle Order: Moeen Ali, Ambati Rayudu and Ben Stokes
Moeen Ali will probably bat at no.3, Ambati Rayudu and Stokes will keep switching their position as per the situation of the match. Addition of Ben Stokes is a good boost in both the batting and the bowling department for the yellows.
Lower Middle Order: Ravindra Jadeja, MS Dhoni and Shivam Dubey
Return of Jadeja from injury is really important for this CSK side, the veteran MS Dhoni and the youngster Dubey will always add value to the lower middle order. This lower middle order have the ability to score runs in the death overs.
Bowlers: Deepak Chahar,Maheesh Theekshana and Mukesh Choudhary
Deepak Chahar and Mukesh Choudhary will be the hydrogen fuel for the CSK’s powerplay bowling whereas Maheesh Theekshana on the other hand will be an X factor.
