Player to watch out for Chennai Super Kings in this IPL
- Although the Chennai squad appears to be quite decent, the weakness in their bowling department could become a significant issue for the team to address.
- With a highly experienced and well-aligned squad, we may witness a great season for the team. However, given their performance in previous years, they are undoubtedly determined to turn things around this season.
- Ben Stokes and Ruturaj Gaikwad are poised to have an exceptional season this time around, given their recent form and impressive statistics in the IPL over the years.
- Whether Mahendra Singh Dhoni will be able to end his IPL captaincy legacy on a high note this year, remains to be seen, and only time will tell.
