Chennai Super Kings one of the most experienced franchises of all time also holding the name for most played Finals in the IPLs. Having retained Ravindra Jadeja, Ruturaj Gaikwad & Moeen Ali, and also getting dropped Faf du Plessis which was a bit unexpected however they also have Moeen Ali a left-handed explosive all-rounder Moeen Ali definitely be opening for the CSK. That always helps in a tournament like the IPL Chennai Super Kings won the series last year played against KKR also the defending champions have been the most loved franchise of all time in the Indian Premier League.

Top Strories – (2022)

Moeen Ali, Deepak Chahar, and Dwaine Pretorious will all be unavailable for the opening game of CSK due to different reasons. While Pretorious will be still in quarantine, Deepak Chahar is yet to recover from a quadriceps injury and England all-rounder Moeen Ali hasn’t received his visa for India yet. 

• Dhoni hand over his captaincy to Ravindra Radeja, his sanational captaincy knock remains rememberd for a very long time.
• Deepak Chahar set to miss a large part of the season due to an injury, CSK would find themselves a little weak in the bowling department. They would have Chris Jordan, Adam Milne or Dwayne Bravo will pick two of the slots with the reaming two for Indian pacers.
• Unavalability of Moeen Ali for the first match is a a great concern for CSK for sure because he is an absolute smasher who also does the magic with his ball with the spin as well and due to his unavalabitlity the left handed talented batter Devon Conway might get the chance to open with Gaikwad.
