Defending Champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are the most popular cricket franchise in the world. The team in Yellow will kick start the IPL 2024 as the most dangerous team in IPL 2024, locking horns against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (formally Royal Challengers Bangalore). The match will be played at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on March 22, 2024. Chennai Super Kings have made a few adjustments and welcomed a few newcomers to the squad before and during the IPL auction.
The team in yellow is looking like a perfect and balanced squad this season, but injuries have circled the team before the season. Two of their main overseas players, Devon Conway and Matheesha Pathirana, are out injured and will not feature in the first half of Tata IPL 2024. There are still great players in CSK who you can’t forget to include in your Dream11 team for each CSK match. We’ll be discussing them in this article.
Here are five CSK players that you must have in your team if you are making a Dream11 team for the IPL 2024.
5 Must Have CSK Players in Your Dream11 Team during IPL 2024
5. Deepak Chahar
Deepak Chahar is fit again for the IPL 2024 and will be looking to contribute as much as he can with the bowl. Matheesha Pathirana is out injured for CSK, which means Deepak Chahar and Shardul Thakur become more potent for CSK. Deepak Chahar has been phenomenal in the powerplay with his swing bowling upfront. Deepak Chahar has to be in your Dream11 team for all seasons as he has an average of 28.0, which means he almost takes a wicket in every IPL match, and he can contribute with the bat as well.
4. Shivam Dube
Shivam Dube has been the most impactful player in IPL 2023, scoring 411 runs in 16 matches with an average of 37.36 and a mind-gobbling strike rate of 159.92. Dube can hit long balls when he finds himself comfortable in the middle. Shivam Dube picked up a couple of wickets and 124 runs in just 2 matches against Afghanistan in January 2024. Shivam Dube will play a vital role in CSK’s wins as he can both bat and bowl crucial overs. Keeping him in your dream11 team in each match will be a wiser option.
3. Ruturaj Gaikwad
Ruturaj Gaikwad is a must-have in your dream11 team; he is the main opener and a consistent run scorer for Chennai Super Kings in the last few seasons. Devon Conway’s injury has increased the responsibility on Ruturaj Gaikward and he can be a valuable option to consider in your dream11 team. Ruturaj Gaikward has played 52 IPL matches for CSK, scoring 1797, with an average of 39.1, with 14 half-centuries and 1 brilliant knock of 101* against Rajasthan Royals.
2. Rachin Ravindra
With Conway out injured, Rachin Ravindra will most likely play as an opener, and his batting performances in the recent ICC World Cup and test series against Australia and South Africa were insane M. A. Chidambaram Stadium is on the slowish side, which will open up a good opportunity for Ravindra’s left arm spin bowling. Rachin Ravindra is the best option for Captain and Vice-captain in your Dream11 Team because he has the most opportunities with the bat and bowl.
1. Ravindra Jadeja
The vice-captain of Chennai Super Kings, the best fielder on earth, is the man who hit the final runs against Gujarat Titans to help CSK lift the title in 2023. Ravindra Jadeja is a must-have in each CSK match, and if Chennai is playing at their home, Jadeja’s importance will be more in your team as M. A. Chidambaram Stadium is known to support spin bowlers during the matches. His all-round skill will help you attain the most points in a match against any team. Ravindra Jadeja is the best player to consider in your dream11 team as a player or your captain or vice-captain.
