Sunil Gavaskar made a big prediction regarding CSK
former indian captain Sunil Gavaskar So, I think CSK will definitely finish in the top four like always,” he was quoted as saying by Star Sports. You can’t say ‘definitely yes’ to any team as a favourite. However, the way Chennai Super Kings have performed over the years, they have qualified in 12 out of the 16 editions. So this is likely to happen for the 13th time.”
He further said, “If you look at their purchases at the auction table, the aspects they had to strengthen, it seems they were a bit lacking in bowling last year and also in batting, they had to move to the middle order after the retirement of Ambati Rayudu. Had to strengthen a little, he did it, did it all. They have a good mix of young and experienced players.
Let us tell you that the upcoming edition is expected to be even more special for CSK as it is likely to be the last season of their great captain MS Dhoni. The wicketkeeper batsman has led the franchise since his debut season in 2008 and CSK has won a joint-highest number of five titles under his captaincy.
