CSK IPL 2023: Chennai Super King’s Strengths, Weakness, Schedule and Full Squad of IPL 2023
CSK IPL 2023: Chennai Super Kings is the most popular IPL team and has a huge fan base but let. The main reason for that is MS Dhoni, who led the crown four times in the IPL tournament. Under Dhoni Captaincy, Chennai won 121 games and lost 82. He has a winning Percentage of 59.60% as he cliched the IPL titles four times in 2010, 211, 218, and 2021.
It might be the last time we will see Dhoni play in the IPL tournament and CSK players will have the last chance to give an IPL trophy as a farewell gift to MS Dhoni. CSK last year finished in the 2nd last spot above Mumbai Indian. They won 4 matches and lost 10 Matches which is the worst performance by them in their IPL history. The biggest reason for that was giving a chance to test Ravindra Jadeja as a captain, which failed and Jadeja gave the captaincy back to Dhoni.
Ben Stokes was the highlight pick for CSK in IPL Auction 2023, as they brought him for 16.25 Crore, which is not a usual way for the CSK board as they take all the factors to spend this much money for any player. Other teams were in surprise when CSK kept on fighting for Ben Stokes, as most franchise thinks that CSK selection communities are not the one who spends this huge amount of money for just one player but there are big possibilities that they brought Ben Stokes just because they are seeing him as the future captain of the Chennai Super Kings.
They brought Kyle Jamieson for 1 Crore but the bad news came after some months when Jamieson got a back injury and now it will take 4-5 months to recover from that. Let’s check out what are the factors that will play a role for CSK in the 2023 IPL and we will see the Strengths and Weaknesses of the Chennai Super King Team.
CSK IPL 2023: Chennai Super Kings Strength
The Strength of the CSK is their All-Rounders, and they brought Ben Stokes for whooping 16.25 Crores to boost the All-Round area of the team. Ravindra Jadeja and Moeen Ali have been one of the best performers in CSK. They also brought the Indian All-Rounder Shivam Dube for 4 Crore, which was a surprise pick.
Their spin department is also strong, as Ali, Jadeja, Mitchell Santner and Maheesh Theekshana are one of the best spinners and will play their home match in M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. It will give them a great boost and has been one of the strengths of the CSK side.
MS Dhoni will be the captain of the Chennai Super Kings once again from the start of the season, which is one of the biggest strengths CSK has but also, this can be the last year of his captaincy.
Mukesh Choudhary was one of the gems that Chennai Super Kings got last year, as he picked 16 wickets in just 11 matches and will be one of the leading pace bowlers for CSK in IPL 2023. Matheesha Pathirana, who Chennai Super Kings picked in the 2021 auction, showed some of his slinging action and played 2 matches in which he picked 2 wickets.
CSK IPL 2023: Chennai Super Kings Weakness
Csk doesn’t have a great pace bowling lineup, as they didn’t even buy good Indian pacers in 2023. They brought Kyle Jamieson for 1 Crore, which is a good deal but still, he is someone who easily gets an injury and keeps going off and on in the New Zealand team. He is already out in the IPL 2023 a
Last year some young domestic pace bowlers showed some good performances but still did not look reliable. Mukesh Choudary and Deepak Chahar are the only pace bowler who looks reliable but doesn’t forget that Deepak Chahar missed the whole IPL season last year.
Their main player, Ben Stokes and Ravindra Jadeja, also come from serious injuries and still can not play the whole season. Ben Stokes will not gonna play in Qualifiers and final if CSK is able to go through that, as he is going to prepare for the Ashes.
