Chennai Super Kings (CSK) Strengths and Weaknesses

The 17th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) is going to start from March 22. Defending champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will face Royal Challengers Bangalore in the opening match. The biggest strength of CSK is their captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

Dhoni scored runs at a strike rate of 182.46 last season, and currently no one is ahead of him in making strategies. Top Indian players like Ruturaj Gaikwad and Ravindra Jadeja are also the strength of CSK. The injuries of Devon Conway and Mathish Pathirana are increasing the problems of the team. Chennai's fast bowling is also not sharp.

Possible Playing 11

Ruturaj Gaikwad, Rachin Ravindra, Ajinkya Rahane, Sameer Rizvi, Moeen Ali/Daryl Mitchell, Ravindra Jadeja, Mahendra Singh Dhoni (captain), Shardul Thakur, Deepak Chahar, Mahish Teekshana, Mathish Pathirana.
