9. Chennai Super Kings (CSK) – Moeen Ali, Ben Stokes, Shivam Dube and Mahendra Singh Dhoni
Rating: 6.5/10
A team with the most worthy middle-order players in history, like Suresh Raina and MSD, is now compromising with their middle-order stand as they lack proper players to fit in the role. Comprising mostly all-rounders like Ali, Dube, and the heavily paid Stokes, the CSK middle order is talented, but they have certain drawbacks like lack of form, lack of game time on Indian pitches, and inconsistency in the shorter format of the game.
Consisting of the highly experienced Ali and Stokes and led by MSD, they are capable of launching assaults on their opposition but have lost bits of their proficiency due to age.
