In the 17th match of IPL 2023, Chennai Super Kings won the toss against Rajasthan and decided to bowl first. The big news is that Rajasthan got a big blow before the match. His fast bowler Trent Boult was ruled out of the match due to injury. On the other hand, Chennai Super Kings made 3 major changes in the team. Chennai dropped Santner and Pretorius and included Mahish Teekshana in the team. Apart from this, Moin Ali returned to the playing eleven after recovering from an injury.
Deepak Chahar, who was injured in the last match, is unfit and left-arm fast bowler Akash Singh has got a chance in his place.
