New Delhi: MS Dhoni-led Chennai will be eyeing a better show in IPL 2023 after finishing ninth in the last season. The upcoming edition could well be MS Dhoni’s last as a player and the team will be keen on giving him a fitting farewell. The team made a few changes to the squad and let go of players like Robin Uthappa, Dwayne Bravo and Chris Jordan while roping in Ben Stokes and Kyle Jamieson. However, Jamieson was ruled out of the tournament following an injury which forced the team to swap him with South Africa’s Sisanda Magala. There are doubts about the participation of Mukesh Choudhary as well who has picked up an injury.
Chennai still looks a balanced unit with a good mix of youth and experience, with players like Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ben Stokes, Ambati Rayudu, MS Dhoni, Ravindra Jadeja, and Deepak Chahar at their disposal. Chennai would like to turn things around in IPL 2023 and level with Mumbai in terms of most IPL titles.
