CSK vs DC D11 Must Pick Players
Shivam Dube

The all-rounder from Mumbai has managed to score 85 runs with the bat so far and his not out inning of 51 runs against the Gujarat Titans helped CSK go past the 200-run mark.

Rachin Ravindra
Rachin Ravindra has breathed fire in the first two games of IPL 2024 for CSK, as he and skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad have provided some really good starts to the Men in Yellow. Rachin especially has not let the CSK fans miss the services of Devon Conway, who is going to miss the first half of IPL 2024 with a thumb injury and Rachin has scored 83 runs in two games, with his best score being 46 runs in 20 balls against the Gujarat Titans in the previous match.
