What can be expected from CSK in IPL 2023?

CSK had a forgetful campaign in IPL 2022, finishing ninth in the standings with only four wins and 10 losses in 14 games. The team also had to deal with management issues as Dhoni gave up captaincy ahead of the season, with CSK appointing Ravindra Jadeja as his successor. However, a dismal performance in the first half of the season led the team to reinstate Dhoni as the skipper.

Although it has been speculated for the last few IPL season, the 2023 edition can turn out to be Dhoni’s final year playing in the tournament. CSK made notable additions of players like Ben Stokes, Ajinkya Rahane, and others at the IPL 2023 Auction. The four-time champions already have star players like Ravindra Jadeja, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Deepak Chahar, and Mitchell Santner, among others. Having said that, here’s a look at CSK’s full squad for the upcoming season.
