Chennai Super Kings seems to be in big trouble before IPL 2026. Injuries of players are weakening the team. The biggest name in the list of injured players for the franchise is that of former captain MS Dhoni. Dhoni’s presence on the field proves to be very beneficial for Chennai. Apart from this, the team’s young star batsman Dewald Brevis is also reportedly a victim of injury.
Without Dhoni and Brevis, it will be a big challenge for Chennai captain Ruturaj Gaikwad to select 11 players for the match against Rajasthan. Dhoni’s experience is beneficial for the team. At the same time, due to the absence of Brevis, who is famous for his explosive batting, the team’s batting order may look weak. Last season, Brewis batted brilliantly for the team and scored 225 runs in 6 innings at a strike rate of 180.
Chennai’s playing 11 without Dhoni Brevis
Sanju Samson can compensate Dhoni to some extent in the match. Like Mahi, there is full hope that he will be seen behind the wicket. Sanju can be seen with captain Ruturaj Gaikwad at the opening. After this, completing the top order, Ayush Mhatre can be seen at number three.
Then in the absence of Dewald Brevis, the middle order can start with Sarfaraz Khan or Urvil Patel. After this, left-handed Shivam Dubey can be seen at number five. Spin all-rounder Prashantveer, worth Rs 14.20 crore, can be given a chance at number six.
Karthik Sharma can be sent as a finisher at number seven. Karthik was also bought by the franchise for a price of Rs 14.20 crore.
Bowling department can be like this
Jamie Overton, Khalil Ahmed, Noor Ahmed and Matt Henry can be seen in the bowling department of the team.
