Faf Du Plessis, Dwayne Bravo and Imran Tahir all participated in the recently concluded Caribbean Premier League (CPL 2021) and hence will undergo only two-day isolation before joining the CSK bubble. “3x the Excitement Fafulous Champion Express,” CSK tweeted.

IPL 2021: In what is a major blow to MS Dhoni’s Chennai Super Kings, Faf du Plessis is almost certain to miss the IPL opener. He sustained a groin injury while playing for Saint Lucia Kings in CPL 2021. The in-form South African batsmen missed the last three matches for the franchise on a trot, including the CPL Final. According to the information coming in from CSK camp, though CSK management is still hoping that Faf du Plessis will be available for the 1st match – but at the same time, Robin Uthappa has been asked to get ready for his CSK debut.
IPL 2021: The 14th season, which was postponed in May this year in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, will resume on Sunday in Dubai with a blockbuster clash between Chennai Super Kings and defending champions Mumbai Indians.
After the CSK-MI clash, the action will then shift to Abu Dhabi where KKR will square off against Royal Challengers Bangalore.
