Another thing is that he no longer plays international cricket, but he is still seen in the IPL and as a captain. The CSK team, captained by MS Dhoni, will once again enter the IPL arena. All the CSK fans know that the IPL 2022 season was very bad for the team but they also know that this team is such that it is known and known for making comebacks. This is the reason why the team has managed to capture the title four times so far. This time the team has joined some strong players from all over the world and tried to make the team even stronger. But even after this, it’s not like the team doesn’t have weaknesses. There are some weak links that need to be corrected. Let’s take a look at the team’s strengths and weaknesses.
MS Dhoni to lead CSK in IPL 2023
In IPL 2022, the Chennai Super Kings team was ranked 9th out of ten. This was probably the worst performance by this team in IPL history. But this year the team has made many changes. Some players have been removed, while some new players have also joined. The player whose absence will cause the biggest loss for the team is Dwayne Bravo. He has now announced his retirement from all forms of cricket. Bravo was such a team player, that he used to score fast runs when necessary, while he was also known and recognized for his good bowling in death overs. But this time it is believed that his absence will be replaced by the captain of the England test and the best all-rounder in the world, Ben Stokes. CSK had Ben Stokes in his court for Rs 16.25 crore. It is believed that if MS Dhoni does not play in the upcoming IPL season, he too may become the next captain of Chennai Super Kings. However, nothing has been said about it yet by the team. MS Dhoni had relinquished the captaincy last year, Ravindra Jadeja was appointed as the new captain in his place, but as captain he couldn’t look amazing, his batting and bowling also didn’t look so lethal, after that, MS Dhoni became the captain. captain. again.
Ben Stokes can be a masterstroke for CSK in IPL
Chennai Super Kings is not the strongest team in IPL, if you look at the whole team, it will be clearly visible. The problem with the team is that Ben Stokes is not playing all three formats for his team and is not capable of bowling death overs. The team does not have any specialist bowler who can bowl 18 to 20 overs and take wickets. Not only this, the team doesn’t even have big hitters in the last over. MS Dhoni is the only player who can hit fours and sixes in the last over. This time, the team has also included Ajinkya Rahane in the team, but he will hit in the middle order, but he may not be in a position to hit big. The team have an excellent fast bowler in Deepak Chahar, but they will have to be supported by Mukesh Kumar, who does not have much experience. Not only this, the problem of the team is also that MS Dhoni is constantly away from cricket, it is another thing that he is practicing, but there is a difference between practice and actual match, last year also MS Dhoni’s bat is almost silent . submitted.
Dwayne Conway can start with Ruturaj Gaikwad
If we talk about the strength of the team then they have a player like Ruturaj Gaikwad who has shown his strength in IPL not international cricket. Dwayne Conway opens the innings with him, which means there’s no problem with the team’s starting pair and this spot is packed. At the same time, if necessary, Mitchell Santner is also there. To score runs in the intermissions, they have a player like Moeen Ali, who is known to play to the needs of it. Then there are two great players in the form of Ben Stokes and Ravindra Jadeja. After this will come the number of MS Dhoni. Although the team also has Shivam Dubey for the middle order, so far he has not been able to impress with his performance. In such a situation, whether his bat will work or not is hard to say. Yes, the team can be satisfied with Ambati Rayudu that he will do his part when necessary.
