Chennai: Chennai Super Kings start their IPL campaign from Friday. CSK’s opponent in the opening match of IPL 2024 is RCB. MS Dhoni stepped down from the captaincy a day before the start of the competition. Ruturaj Gaikwad is the new captain of Chennai. Chennai Super Kings are looking forward to a fresh start under a new captain.
But would you believe that there is not a single player from Australia, South Africa, West Indies, Afghanistan in the team that has won the IPL five times? All four teams, including Australia, are full of specialist T20 cricketers. But Chennai Super Kings, the most popular team in IPL, did not feel the need for a player from these countries.
Chennai Super Kings have the largest number of foreign cricketers in New Zealand, dubbed ‘underdog’ by the cricket world. CSK has a total of 8 foreign cricketers in its squad, including 4 from New Zealand. They are Devon Conway, Rachin Ravindra, Daryl Mitchell, Mitchell Santner. Probably when CSK play their first match on Friday, three of these players will be in the playing XI.
The remaining four foreign players in the Chennai Super Kings team are from Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and England. After New Zealand, CSK has the largest number of cricketers from Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka’s Mathisha Pathirana and Mahesh Thikshana are in this team. Besides, England’s Moeen Ali and Bangladesh’s Mustafizur Rahman are in the Chennai Super Kings team. Bravo once played for CSK. But now he is retired. But on the other hand, the other nine teams of the IPL also have cricketers from other countries including Australia, South Africa, West Indies or Afghanistan in the Pakistani bag.
