Chennai Super Kings is all set to play against Delhi Capitals in Chepauk and all the eyes will be on CSK’s playing XI. One of the most important development is that the legend MS Dhoni is likely to miss out and a new debut is of Vansh Bedi is on the cards.
Ruturaj Gaikwad To Lead
In absence of MS Dhoni, CSK is set to go in with a dynamic playing XI with Ruturaj Gaikwad as the captain despite all the injury concerns. It has a strong batting order with Rachin Ravindra, Deepak Hooda, Shivam Dube lined up as power-hitters followed by Sam Curran and Ravindra Jadeja as key all rounders.
Vansh Bedi To Debut, Dhoni Misses Out
In a signficant move, Vansh Bedi is likely to make debut, he played incredibly well in Delhi Premier League (DPL) following which he was picked by CSK. He is a great option as a wicket-keeper also.
“I’m sure Fleming and Rutu have thought about that,” Hussey said. “But we’ve got some young guy coming through. He’s behind the stumps. Maybe he can do a good job. I’m not sure. He’s got a bit of experience in the role, so maybe he could do it. But I’m not exactly sure, to be honest.” said CSK head coach
CSK Michael Hussey hinted at a new guy coming in which has raised eyebrows about Vansh Bedi’s debut.
CSK’s Spin Dominated Bowling Lineup
The bowling lineup of CSK is absolutely lethal with Ravichandran Ashwin, Noor Ahmad leading the spin attack. Matheesha Pathirana and Khaleel Ahmed will be looking after pace attack.
