Chennai Super Kings IPL 2024: Chennai Super Kings, the team captained by Mahendra Singh Dhoni, is fully prepared for IPL 2024. Chennai had captured the title by defeating Gujarat in the final of last season. CSK has been champion five times. But this time the path will not be easy for him. The team’s veteran player Devon Conway is injured. He will not be able to play in the initial matches. The biggest strength of CSK is its captain and if we talk about shortcomings, it does not have many big players.
If we look at the batting line up of Chennai Super Kings, Ajinkya Rahane and Rituraj Gaikwad are big players in it. Experienced player Conway had suffered a thumb injury. For this reason he will not be able to play in the initial matches. The team has played a big bet on Sameer Rizvi. Sameer has a good record in domestic matches. Sameer has scored 295 runs in 9 T20 matches. During this period he has also scored 2 half-centuries.
CSK has an army of all-rounders –
If we look at the list of CSK all-rounders, it is quite long. Ravindra Jadeja and Moeen Ali have proved to be very important for the team. Shivam Dubey has also performed well in many matches. These players can also make a place in the playing eleven of the initial matches. The performance of Mitchell Santner and Nishant Sandhu has also been good. Jadeja is the most important player of the team. He has played 226 matches in IPL. During this period 2692 runs have been scored. He has also taken 152 wickets. Jadeja’s best performance in a match has been taking 5 wickets for 16 runs.
There is no experienced player in the bowling attack –
If we look at the bowling attack of Chennai Super Kings, apart from Deepak Chahar, no one else is more experienced. Chahar has played 73 IPL matches so far. He has taken 72 wickets during this period. Chahar’s best performance in a match has been taking 4 wickets for 13 runs. CSK also has good bowling options in Mahish Theekshana and Rajyavardhan. But these players do not have much experience.
CSK will have hope from Mitchell and Rachin –
Chennai had bought Daryl Mitchell for Rs 14 crore. Rachin Ravindra was bought for Rs 1.80 crore. Rachin had performed brilliantly during the World Cup 2023. He has scored 214 runs in 20 T20 International matches. Along with this, 11 wickets have also been taken. Ravindra’s overall performance is good. Talking about Mitchell, he has scored 1260 runs in 63 T20 International matches. He has also taken 8 wickets. Both these players can perform well for CSK this time.
