The upcoming season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) is sure to be an exciting one. The Chennai Super Kings (CSK) has always been one of the most successful franchises in the IPL.
The team, CSK has a long history of producing some of the best players in the game, and they are expected to have a strong team in the 2023 edition of the IPL.
Among the players in the team, there are some who could become stars and explode in IPL 2023.
This season, CSK will be looking to make a big impact in the tournament with its new recruits. Here are five CSK players who could explode in IPL 2023 with their prowess.
Ben Stokes
On Friday in Kochi, England allrounder Ben Stokes triggered a major bidding battle during the IPL 2023 auction.
With a bidding price of Rs 16.25 crore, four-time IPL champions Chennai Super Kings won Stokes’ services for the following season, making him the joint-third most expensive player in the auction’s history.
The England international has scored 920 runs with a strike rate of 134.50 in 43 IPL games. He has taken 28 wickets at an 8.56 economy rate. In addition, he has an unbroken IPL century, which he scored for Supergiant against Gujarat Lions in 2017.
Shivam Dube
If Shivam Dube can keep his consistency, he might be extremely deadly at the center. In some of the 2022 matches, he was perfect.
In the previous season, the all-rounder had an excellent strike rate of 156.22, scoring 289 runs in 11 games.
Shivam Dube can bat anywhere in the order and provides a lot of versatility, but if given a specific role, he may be a game-winner.
Ruturaj Gaikwad
Gaikwad is one of the most promising players in the CSK squad and he has the potential to be a game-changer.
Ruturaj Gaikwad is an aggressive batsman and has the ability to score quickly. He also has the technique and mental toughness to excel in the IPL.
Devon Conway
Devon Conway was at his best in the previous IPL season. The New Zealand cricketer has three half-centuries and 236 runs in six innings. The left-handed batter has a lovely manner and can easily score runs.
Devon Conway is likely to be retained by CSK ahead of the IPL 2023 auction.
Mukesh Choudhary
Mukesh Choudhary is without a doubt Chennai Super Kings’ biggest hope for the IPL 2023 season. It is well known that a medium-ability pacer can swing the ball in both directions.
Choudhary has made an impression in his first IPL season, and his ability to take wickets with the new ball has elevated him to the team’s star performer.
