What does the CSK squad in IPL 2023 look like?

CSK is quite tactical during auctions. They take their time getting started, but they do manage to spy on some exceptionally talented players. That is exactly what they did this time when they signed England all-rounder Ben Stokes for a record INR 16.25 crore. It was one of CSK’s better purchases since it significantly enhanced their team for IPL 2023. While everyone expected them to go after Sam Curran to get him back into the team, CSK surprised everyone by going all in on Stokes. CSK went into the auction with a purse of INR 20.45 crore and seven seats to fill, two of which were overseas. CSK made some surprising acquisitions at the auction and went all in.

CSK’s performance the previous season was diametrically opposed to their 2021 campaign, in which they won the trophy for the fourth time. CSK entered the tournament as the defending champions, but finished eighth and failed to make a significant impact. This time, the franchise will be hoping to return to winning ways in order to capture their fifth championship. Last season, CSK’s new opening combination was Devon Conway and Ruturaj Gaikwad. Surprisingly, both players have been in fantastic form with the bat and will be the ones to watch. After much conjecture, Ravindra Jadeja has returned to CSK and will be Dhoni’s, right-hand man. Moeen Ali and Ben Stokes of England will provide depth.
