CSK Playing XI vs SRH: No Ben Stokes as MS Dhoni sticks to spin trio at Chepauk for Sunrisers Hyderabad clash: Follow IPL 2023 LIVE

CSK Playing XI vs SRH, CSK vs SRH: Ben Stokes continues to be out of action as Chennai Super Kings named an unchanged XI for the game against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Captain MS Dhoni won the toss and opted to field first. With a return to Chepauk, spin trio Mahesh Theekshana, Ravindra Jadeja and Moeen Ali will play a key role.

Chennai Super Kings (Playing XI): Ruturaj Gaikwad, Devon Conway, Ajinkya Rahane, Shivam Dube, Ambati Rayudu, Moeen Ali, Ravindra Jadeja, MS Dhoni(w/c), Maheesh Theekshana, Tushar Deshpande, Matheesha Pathirana

The complete recovery of Ben Stokes is a huge relief for Chennai Super Kings. Due to a toe injury, the England Test captain missed three games for CSK. He has, however, fully recovered. He still has a knee issue though, and it will take some time for it to recover.

CSK Playing 11: Permutations and Combinations

There is hardly a chance that MS Dhoni will change the winning combination. But with Ben Stokes fit his inclusion is imminent.
That’s why Chennai Super Kings will play their cards safely and will make sure no further harm to Ben Stokes.
Hence it is expected that the English all-rounder will come as an impact player in CSK Playing 11.

In their win against RCB in last match, CSK was fortunate. Their quick bowlers were erratic, and their fielders blew several opportunities. If not for CSK’s captain Dhoni’s composure, the team would have struggled to win even one game.

Despite taking wickets, Tushaar Deshpande’s economy rate is over 11.
The absence of Deepak Chahar is felt, as he hasn’t fully recovered from his ailment.

There are numerous injuries affecting Chennai right now. Up to five players are currently on the mend after setbacks.
On a flast surface vs RCB, Matheesha Pathirana returned with figures 2/42. He is, however, also recuperating from COVID-19.
