CSK Playing 11 Prediction IPL 2026: The 19th season of the Indian Premier League is going to start in a few days. Royal Challengers Bangalore and Sunrisers Hyderabad will face each other in the first match of the season on March 28. This time Chennai Super Kings will also be in the news, in which Sanju Samson has entered this time. Whereas MS Dhoni’s craze happens every time. Now the question is with which 11 players Chennai can take the field this time. Former cricketer Aakash Chopra has responded to this by choosing the playing eleven of CSK.
Aakash Chopra chose CSK’s playing eleven?
Former cricketer Aakash Chopra Chopra believes that Ayush Mhatre and Sanju Samson have been given the responsibility of opening in Chennai Super Kings. Whereas captain Ruturaj Gaikwad can come to bat at number-3. Last season, Mhatre had scored 240 runs in 7 matches as an opener. According to Aakash Chopra, after the opening pair of Mhatre-Samson, Gaikwad will come at number-3 and Dewald Brevis can handle the fourth order.
Shivam Dubey, who is coming after playing many impressive innings in T20 World Cup 2026, will become the backbone of the middle order. According to Chopra, CSK management can give opportunity to both Karthik Sharma and Prashant Veer. In the mini auction, Super Kings had bid Rs 14.2 crore on both Karthik and Prashant. MS Dhoni was seen batting mostly at number 8 last season and this time too he can play the role of finisher by coming in the same order.
Australian fast bowler Nathan Ellis is out due to injury. In such a situation, the burden of bowling may be on the shoulders of Noor Ahmed, Khalil Ahmed and Matt Henry. If Prashant Veer gets a chance, Mein can emerge as the second main spinner of the team, he bowls left-arm off-spin.
CSK’s playing eleven according to Aakash Chopra: Sanju Samson, Ayush Mhatre, Ruturaj Gaikwad (captain), Dewald Brewis, Shivam Dubey, Karthik Sharma, Prashant Veer, MS Dhoni, Noor Ahmed, Khaleel Ahmed, Matt Henry
