In the first competition, CSK will miss three players. Moeen Ali, Deepak Chahar, and Dwayne Pretorius have all been ruled out of the first game for different reasons.

CSK vs KKR: Moeen Ali is yet to get his visa. In such a situation, there is every possibility that he will not be able to play the first match of IPL. While Deepak Chahar is yet to recover from his injury.

Dwayne Pretorius will be available only after South Africa’s ODI series against Bangladesh. In such a situation, he too will not be able to play in the first competition. All players will also have to complete a three-day quarantine.

The Players will not be Available:-

• Moeen Ali – Visa Issue
• Deepak Chahar – Injury
• Dwayne Pretorius – Will be in Quarantine

Rituraj-Conway to open the innings: Rituraj Gaikwad is fully fit and ready for the first match among the players received by Chennai.

CSK vs KKR: At the same time, after the mega auction, Dwayne Conway, who is associated with the team, can start the innings with him. On the other hand, Robin Uthappa can come to bat at number three in place of Moeen Ali.

Batting line-up: Moeen Ali will not be in the first match, so Robin Uthappa can bat at number 3. While Ambati Rayudu can be seen at number four and Ravindra Jadeja at number five and Shivam Dubey at number six.

CSK vs KKR: Last season MS Dhoni was coming to bat in the lower order. In such a situation, there is every possibility that he can come to bat at number seven this time also. At the same time, all-rounder Dwayne Bravo can bat at number eight.

Bowling Combination: Due to the injury of Deepak Chahar, CSK will miss his bowling. The team can field Adam Milne and Chris Jordan as the two frontline pacers.

CSK vs KKR: On the other hand, the chances of getting an opportunity for Mitchell Santner are slim. At the same time, due to the absence of Moeen Ali, young Prashant Solanki can be given a big responsibility in the playing 11 in the team.
