CSK’s top order comprises openers Ruturaj Gaikwad and Devon Conway. It is a perfect left and right-hand combination and we all know they both are very talented and dangerous batsmen. At No.3 Moeen Ali is the best option. He is left-handed and can change gear at any time in the game. he can also provide a bowling option to the captain.
In the Middle-order Ambati Rayudu will play a big role at No.4 then we have the best finishers in the history of the game. Ben Stokes, MS Dhoni, and Ravindra Jadeja. They all are very dangerous batsmen and they can upset any team on their day. Also, we cannot neglect Shivam Dube who is also capable of hitting gigantic sixes.
In bowlers, we have Deepak Chahar, Mukesh Choudhary, and spinner Maheesh Theekshana. Bowling is the only department in which you will find some flaws and inexperience. CSK will depend highly on its all-rounders Ben Stokes, Moeen Ali, Ravindra Jadeja, and Shivam Dube for the bowling.
