New Delhi. Would you believe that there is not a single player from Australia, South Africa, West Indies and Afghanistan in the team that has won IPL 5 times? These four teams including Australia are full of specialist players of T20 cricket. But IPL’s most popular team Chennai Super Kings did not feel the need of even a single player from these countries. CSK team under the leadership of MS Dhoni will play its first match on Friday, March 22.
Among the foreign players in Chennai Super Kings, the maximum number of players are from the team which the cricket world knows as ‘under dog’ i.e. New Zealand. There are a total of 8 foreign players in the CSK team, out of which 4 are from New Zealand. These 4 players are- Devon Conway, Rachin Ravindra, Daryl Mitchell, Mitchell Santner. There is a possibility that when CSK will play its first match on Friday, three of these players will be in the playing eleven.
