Top-order: Ruturaj Gaikwad, Devon Conway, Moeen Ali

CSK have a quality opening pair in the form of Ruturaj Gaikwad and Devon Conway. Gaikwad has turned out to be the most consistent scorer for CSK in the last few years, while Conway impressed in his debut season last year. The English all-rounder Moeen Ali will bat at no.3 for CSK to continue the good work done by the openers.
