Earlier, South Africa’s SA20 was allowing franchises to announce their best XI players after the toss. With this new rule, IPL 2023 will become the second T20 franchise league to allow teams to announce their playing elevens after the toss.

Stokes will be playing for CSK in the upcoming season of the IPL 2023 and is supposed to fly to India and most probably replace MS Dhoni as the skipper of the franchise.

While fans are eagerly waiting for this year’s IPL, Dhoni will hopefully finish on a high in the yellow and not disappoint his fans.

Former India batter Sanjay Manjrekar agreed with his assessment that Dhoni will be the key for CSK.

With the 41-year-old four-time IPL-winning skipper set to retire for the final time soon, CSK are desperately looking for someone to take charge of the team and Styris believes Stokes is that man.

CSK have recently used the same image and replaced the faces of Ronaldo and Messi with that of West Indian cricketers Kieron Pollard and Dwayne Bravo.

Gaikwad, who is captaining Maharashtra in the match, achieved this feat in the 49th over of the innings.

All the speculations were put to rest as Jadeja featured in CSK’s list of retained players.

The star all-rounder has been a match-winner for CSK for years.

Mumbai Indians’ fans have pretty much started believing that Jadeja will be part of the MI team from next year.

After the bowlers produced a brilliant show to restrict Chennai to a below-par 133/5, Saha carried his bat throughout the innings to chase the total with five balls to spare. The result also means that Gujarat have confirmed their spot in the top two of the points table, which means they will get to play in Qualifier 1 at Kolkata on May 24.

From 40/3, Rayudu helped CSK reach 153/5 with vital partnerships with Ruturaj Gaikwad (30) and Ravindra Jadeja (21 not out), needing 47 runs off 24 balls to win the match.

After losing wickets at regular intervals, Mumbai were in desperate need of a partnership with two young batters -- debutant Hrithik Shokeen and Verma showed courage under the tremendous pressure. The duo picked a few timely boundaries to keep the scoreboard ticking for Mumbai.

Fleming said that every aspect of CSK's game was a concern in IPL 2022

The SRH bowlers first restricted CSK to a modest score of 154/7 in 20 overs and then their batters, specially Abhishek Sharma and Rahul Tripathy successfully chased down the target in 17.2 overs.
