Chennai Super Kings (CSK) predicted playing XI for their first game in IPL 2020
As soon as clearance is obtained from the Indian Government regarding moving IPL overseas for the current edition, the preparations are expected to get underway as quickly as possible.
2. Faf du Plessis
The former South African captain has been a mainstay in CSK’s batting order ever since he was included in the team in 2012. He was by far, their most consistent top-order batsman during the last season. During a time when the form of most of their batsman had hit rock-bottom, du Plessis sailed their ship through braving all the odds.
Playing mostly in the middle-order for his national team, Faf found himself at home opening the batting for the yellow army. His composure and patience while opening the innings makes him an ideal partner to Watson’s aggression. His ability in anchoring and playing a long innings is indubitable which makes him a successful opener.
In 71 matches, he has managed to score 1853 runs at an average of 31.41 and a strike rate of 126.54. He has 12 fifties to his name with the highest score of 96 which he achieved against Kings XI Punjab in the previous season itself.
