Chennai Super Kings will open their IPL 2023 campaign against Gujarat Titans. This might as well be MS Dhoni's last season, he would want the team to put up a much better performance compared to last year. Here is how the team might shape up.
Ben Stokes might open with Ruturaj Gaikwad as he is playing as a specialist batter. Devon Conway may have to warm the bench to make way for Dwaine Pretorius who will provide CSK with great bowling as well batting option.
Dhoni might bat at number four, considering that the franchise has plenty of options with them to finish things off at the backend. Jadeja, along with Dube with take on the all-rounder's role and Deepak Chahar should lead the bowling attack with Simarjeet Singh and Maheesh Theekshana.
