Experienced batsman Ajinkya Rahane has made a wonderful start in this T20 league in the current season. Rahane, 34, gave his team a second win in the current season by batting brilliantly against Mumbai Indians. Rahane scored against Mumbai at a strike rate of 225.92. He scored an inning of 61 runs in 27 balls, which included 7 fours and 3 sixes.
Rahane appeared in a different avatar in T20 at Wankhede Stadium. He can captain CSK in the absence of Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Rahane has immense experience in captaincy. He has played overall 229 T20 matches. He has experience captaining Team India on the international stage. During this, he has proved his mettle in captaincy in red ball cricket. He knows very well how to captain under pressure. If Dhoni is unable to play in the upcoming matches due to injury, then Rahane can lead CSK.
Ravindra Jadeja is such a player who, apart from rocking the ball and bat, is also known for doing wonders in fielding. 34-year-old Jadeja has experience playing 214 IPL matches. He has scored 2531 runs in IPL. During this, his strike rate has been 127.57. Talking about the bowling, Jadeja has taken 138 wickets. CSK is looking at Jadeja as Dhoni's successor. Jadeja captained CSK in some matches in the 15th edition of IPL. However, Jadeja could not prove himself in the captaincy then.
Under the captaincy of Ravindra Jadeja, CSK lost 6 out of 8 matches in IPL 2023. After this, Jaddu handed over the captaincy to Mahendra Singh Dhoni again. But if Dhoni is unable to play in the upcoming match against RCB, then the franchise cannot go anywhere other than Jadeja. Then Jadeja would be a better option in place of 41-year-old Dhoni.
Moeen Ali is the best player in the short format of cricket. Moin has so far scored runs in 271 T20 matches at a strike rate of over 141. He has scored 5728 runs in overall T20 cricket. 35-year-old Moin Ali has been successful in making an impact with the ball as well. Moeen has taken 184 wickets during this period.
