Furthermore, the replacement for Raina has not to be revealed yet. As cricketer Ruturaj Gaikwad will not be leading the campaign, it is speculated that Kedhar Jadhav might be batting as No. 3. Thus, team CSK has the option of opening the match with some of the eminent ex-pat players such as Faf du Plessis and Watson.
Lungi Ngidi or Josh Hazlewood could represent the bowling department of the team. CSK is relying on the South African Imran Tahir while Mitchell Santner of New Zealand regarding the spin bowling.
