CBC’s predicated playing XI:

Ruturaj Gaikwad, Faf Du Plessis, Suresh Raina, Ambati Rayudu, Moeen Ali, MS Dhoni, Sam Curran, Ravindra Jadeja, Josh Hazlewood/Lungi Ngidi, Deepak Chahar, Shardul Thakur

Bench Strength :

Since Suresh Raina’s return to CSK, the woes of the Middle-order has suddenly solved. Trading Robin from RR as a backup player solves the problem of an Extra Opener or injury of any Indian Batsman. If CSK wants to play Bravo or Tahir they can easily swap him by Moeen and add Gowtham to the side. Missing back up options for Indian Pacers but plenty of Indian Batsman may allow them to go with Extra Foreign Pacer.

Top 5 Fantasy Picks if they get a chance in Playing XI :

1- Narayan Jagadeesan:

364 runs in 8 matches with SR 141.08 & 4 fifties in Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy this season

Also 217 runs in Vijay Hazare Trophy with (one hundred vs Punjab)

2- Moeen Ali:

Last year CSK missed an off-spinner. This time they also bought Krishnappa Gowtham but Moeen Ali provides them with a good middle order option with the bat too.

Looks like he found 2^nd wind in this season.

In this season in Vijay Hazare Trophy, he scored 377 runs in 6 matches with 2 hundred and 2 fifties. And most important point with strike rate 131.81 (which is really high for 50-over games)

In Syed Mushtaq Ali tournament too- he scored 161 runs in 5 innings with a strike rate of 140.

5- Josh Hazlewood:

Played only 3 matches in the last IPL season with an economy of 6.4.
