Chennai Super Kings (CSK)
MS Dhoni-led CSK is one of the most fan-favorite sides who have never finished below the top four positions in an IPL season. In the IPL 2020, they will hugely miss the veteran Indian cricketers, Suresh Raina and Harbhajan Singh. Also, a few of their other players have recently diagnosed with COVID-19.
Raina’s absence will create a hole in the CSK batting line-up. Moreover, most of their batsmen are around 35-year-old or more which can create a big problem to maintain the consistent speed in the running between the wickets, especially in the hot temperature in the UAE.
Set bowling line-up is the strength of this side. The addition of Josh Hazlewood, Piyush Chawla, Sam Curran, etc. can make stronger their bowling line-up. However, death-overs bowling quality still needs more improvement.
