Possible playing XI for Chennai in the Indian T20 League 2023
Chennai is set to enter the 16th season of the Indian T20 League and will look to go for their fifth title after a disappointing performance in the last season where they finished in the second-last position. Mahendra Singh Dhoni has the captaincy role again and would look to guide his team to another title.
Chennai made some quality buys in the auction last December and would look to slot them into the line-up and make a team that can beat any other franchise on any pitch. They have a variety of options to choose from and will surely have a selection dilemma.
Here is a look at the possible playing XI for Chennai in the upcoming edition of the Indian T20 League:
Top order
Ruturaj Gaikwad, who is in fine form and had a great domestic season, particularly in limited-overs cricket, is at the top of the order with Kiwi batter Devon Conway, and CSK are comfortable with their opening hitters.
Ambati Rayudu, the former Indian middle-order batter, is likely to bat at No. 3 and provides a plethora of experience to this position. He is always a player the team can rely upon and scores runs when it matters the most for his franchise. His selection is all but likely for this season of the Indian T20 League.
