Chennai Super Kings:

The defending champions have made a huge change as they found a new leader in Ravindra Jadeja as MS Dhoni has passed on the baton. While Ruturaj Gaikwad would be seen opening the batting. While Moeen Ali will come at number three but he won’t be available for the first match as he is stranded in the UK after failing to secure the visa necessary to travel to India for the IPL.

The likes of MS Dhoni, Ambati Rayudu and Ravindra Jadeja etc. will serve the middle order. In the all-rounder department, they have got Dwayne Bravo back into the side. Besides, they have also bought the services of Dwaine Pretorius and Shivam Dube. Deepak Chahar, who was the second-most expensive signing in the Mega Auction will miss the first match due to injury.
