Although it is not clear whether Ben Stokes is fit for bowling as well or not. Not only this, despite being fit, it is not easy for Ben Stokes to make a place in the playing 11.

Conway and Pathirana have also performed brilliantly so far. The playing of these two is also believed to be fixed. Now to make a place in the playing 11, Stokes will have to face the challenge from Teekshana and Santner. Only one of Stokes, Teekshana and Santner will get a place in the playing 11.
Please tell that this match played against Mumbai Indians is very important for CSK. If CSK manages to defeat Mumbai Indians today, then it will become number two in the points table. Not only this, his chances of playing in the playoffs will also increase.
