IPL 2023: Starting Playing XI of Chennai Super Kings

The second-most successful side in the IPL had a good enough mini-auction on Friday. They had primarily released overseas pacers, all-rounders ahead of the event. The franchise came with a clear approach to target a few experienced overseas players, who would fill in the void created by the departure of Dwayne Bravo. Among their seven picks, Ben Stokes was the finest to emerge from the pack. Others were experienced players like Kyle Jamieson and Ajinkya Rahane, who have solidified CSK's backup plans in the IPL 2023.
