Mahendra Singh Dhoni relies on the old when all the teams focus on multiple changes when playing badly. As a result, it didn't take long for Chennai to get the 'old men's team' badge. Chennai did not release too many before the auction. However, several big names have been added to the Chennai team in the auction. How can Dhoni's first XI win the IPL again.
2/12
Ruturaj Gaikwar: The young opener played 6 matches last year. He scored 204 runs at a strike rate of 120.61. He explained that he could be the team's asset next year. The 22-year-old opener was Chennai's only receipt in the last IPL.
3/12
Faf du Plessis: He has retired from Test cricket to play T20. His main goal is T20 World Cup. Before that, this South African batsman will want to make himself on the stage like IPL. He has the power to be destructive.
4/12
Suresh Raina: He withdrew from the IPL last time for personal reasons. However, this time he is in Dhoni's team. The left-handed batsman must be hungry for runs for not being able to play last time. Dhoni will want him at number 3.
5/12
Ambati Rayudu: He was Chennai's second highest run-scorer in the IPL last time with the bat. He scored 359 runs in 12 matches. This time too he can be given the opportunity at number 4.
6/12
Mahendra Singh Dhoni: The captain would like to come at number 5. After retiring from international cricket, fans only see him in the IPL. They will be waiting for that.
7/12
Rabindra Jadeja: Having a cricketer like him in the team means starting a bit ahead. He is equally adept at batting, ball and fielding. You can't think of a team without him.
8/12
Sam Karen: This England all-rounder caught the eye last time in the IPL. After playing for the first time, Chennai became one of the members of the team. The team will not want to leave him this time.
9/12
Moin Ali: It can be said that the spin division of Chennai got stronger after getting him in the auction. Imran Tahir is not able to spread terror like before. Imran is not very effective with the bat. When Moin joins the team, he can give confidence to the team even with the bat.
10/12
Shardul Tagore: This pacer is one of the assets of Dhoni's team in IPL. His Test debut in Australia will make him even more so. Dhoni would like to hand over the new ball to Shardul.
11/12
Deepak Chahar: He will be Shardul's partner. Deepak took the most wickets among the Indian bowlers of the Chennai team in Dubai.
12/12
Lungi NGD: This pacer from South Africa can become terrifying in any environment. With a pacer like him, Chennai will be able to attack the opposition from the beginning.
