Bowlers - Maheesh Theekshana, Mustafizur Rahman, Tushar Deshpande
CSK's spin attack will be led by Maheesh Theekshana. The Sri Lankan off-spinner has unique variations in his bowling arsenal that can bamboozle the batters. He has been Dhoni's middle-order weapon in previous seasons and his successor Gaikwad will follow suit. Bringing Mustafizur Rahman into the team was a master stroke from the Chennai franchise. They needed a left-arm pacer and someone who could easily adapt to their home conditions.
The Bangladeshi cricketer was the perfect choice and he proved everyone right with a scintillating spell in the tournament opener against RCB. Mustafizur, who recorded his best ever IPL figures of 4/29 in four overs, was largely responsible for CSK's impressive win. Right-arm fast bowler Tushar Deshpande is CSK’s last man. The uncapped player has had an inconsistent run with the franchise. He also leaked 47 runs in the last match, but CSK are known for sticking with winning combination throughout the season, so Deshpande is likely to get a lifeline.
