Players who can replace Ben Stokes in Chennai Super Kings (CSK) for IPL 2024: England all-rounder Ben Stokes, a couple of days ago, made a shocking move by making himself unavailable for the upcoming Tata IPL 2024. Stokes pulled out of the lucrative Indian T20 league citing workload management and fitness issues.



The unavailability of all-rounder Ben Stokes leaves a massive hole in the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) lineup that will look to defend their title in 2024. Although Stokes didn't play a significant role in CSK's victory in the last edition, his presence could have made a big positive difference for the yellow franchise.



Stokes could only play two games in the IPL 2023 before he was benched and subsequently ruled out of the tournament due to injuries. In the two games, the Englishmen scored a mere 15 runs and bowled a solitary over which went for 18 runs.



So far, CSK hasn't officially released Ben Stokes from their squad, however, if the reports are to be believed, the all-rounder will not be retained by the five-time IPL champions. The release of Stokes from the squad ahead of the IPL 2024 Auction would free up a whopping INR 16.25 Crores for the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) which can be used during the auction on December 19 for the purchase of a replacement player.



Below this article will lead you through Players who can replace Ben Stokes in Chennai Super Kings (CSK) for IPL 2024.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Players who can replace Ben Stokes in Chennai Super Kings (CSK) for IPL 2024</h2>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Rachin Ravindra</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/11/IMG_6478.jpg" alt="IPL 2024 Auction: Players who can replace Ben Stokes in Chennai Super Kings (CSK) for IPL 2024" class="wp-image-122274" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Rachin Ravindra {PC: ICC WC 23}</figcaption></figure>



Kiwi young batting all-rounder Rachin Ravindra made a great statement for himself during the recently held ICC ODI World Cup 2023. His outstanding show in his debut World Cup edition would certainly have lured a couple of teams looking for an all-rounding option in the IPL 2024 Auction.



Ravindra scored 578 runs in the World Cup 2023 with the help of three centuries. He also broke Sachin Tendulkar's record of scoring most runs in a single World Cup edition before turning 25.



Besides his batting record, Rachin Ravindra could be a handy operator of the ball. He scalped five wickets in the World Cup 2023 at an economy of 5.98.



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Daryl Mitchell</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/10/369655-1.jpg" alt="IPL 2024 Auction: Players who can replace Ben Stokes in Chennai Super Kings (CSK) for IPL 2024" class="wp-image-121703" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">IND vs NZ: Daryl smoked maiden century (Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



Another player who can replace Ben Stokes in the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) is New Zealand fast-bowling all-rounder Daryl Mitchell. He had a memorable outing in the recently concluded World Cup 2023 where he managed to muster over 500 runs and ended amongst the top 5 run-getters in the tournament. He struck two centuries, including one in the India vs New Zealand semi-final at the Wankhede Stadium. 



Although his bowling couldn't make much impact during the World Cup, his batting took the world by storm. He can be a valuable addition to Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the top order.

5 Foreign Players Who May Become Expensive Buys During IPL 2024 Auction: The buzz around the IPL 2024 has begun to pick its pace as we head closer to the auctions. The recently passed deadline for the player's retention played a perfect role in being the ice-breaker for the cricket fans to have discussions. The cricket pundits are now involved in a game of predicting the players who can be potentially targeted by 10 Indian Premier League (IPL) teams.



Player retentions have become instrumental in determining what an IPL franchise is looking to do as far as their squad is concerned. All 10 IPL teams have retained their core set of players while releasing only a handful of them. While a couple of players have been involved in the trades.



The IPL 2024 Auction will not be about the retained players, rather it will be more about the new players who have left a solid impression over a period of time in the lead-up to the auction. Plenty of new players would sign up for the IPL 2024 Auction and the teams would be raring to seal those potential assets during the auction proceedings.



It is noteworthy that the recently held ODI World Cup 2023 would play a huge role in determining the worth of the players. Those who have managed to hop into the limelight with their brilliant performances will certainly fetch a lucrative IPL deal not from one but multiple teams.



This article will lead you through 5 foreign players who may become expensive buys during IPL 2024 Auction:

With the release of big players like Wanindu Hasaranga, Jofra Archer, Kyle Jamieson and Lockie Ferguson among others, the room for the franchises to spend a hefty sum on the new players gets bigger. The release of such players frees up the purse value which in turn is spent on the newcomers.

IPL 2024 Auction: Top 10 Most Expensive Player with a Highest Base Price in the IPL 2024 Auction

Top 5 Most Expensive Players in IPL 2024 Auction on December 19: The D-Day for the IPL 2024 Auctions, albeit a mini one, December 19, 2023 is just just one sleep away. The preparations for the event are underway as the BCCI plans to stage it in Dubai's Coca Cola Arena on Tuesday. Notably, it's the first time that the BCCI has moved the IPL auctions out of the country.



IPL auctions have had their share in making hype for the upcoming season of the IPL. All the buzz around players getting sold, dropped and traded has played a part in the success of the Indian Premier League (IPL). More so, because the IPL auction somewhat paints a clear picture as to what the team has strategised for the tournament.



The IPL 2024 Auction are preceeded by a World Cup event, although ODI, so there will be a manupulation factor which will be derived from the players' performance in the recently held World Cup in India. The top stars of the event are almost certain fetch a handsome pay from their respective franchises.



This edition of the mini-auction will see 333 players go under the hammer. Of those, 119 are overseas and the rest (214) are domestic players. A maximum of 70 player slots are to be filled during the cash-filled event with a total of INR 262.48 Crore purse amongst the 10 IPL teams.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Top 5 Most Expensive Players in IPL 2024 Auction on December 19</h2>



It is often a case that the IPL has been generously rewarding for a player who knows a bit of both bowling and batting. The all-rounders have seen their stocks rise since the inception of the tournament. Since 2012 IPL, the most expensive player each year is an all-rounder, barring a few seasons.



The last season saw English all-rounder Sam Curran go bonkers during the auction with him fetching a whopping INR 18.5 Crores from Punjab Kings. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/04/Pat-Cummins.jpg" alt="Top 5 Most Expensive Players in IPL 2024 Auction on December 19" class="wp-image-87910" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image: IPL/BCCI</figcaption></figure>



Pat Cummins: The Australian ODI World Cup winning captain, Pat Cummins, though, hasn't enjoyed a excessive out of the box success in the IPL, surely he is among the top 5 players who can induce bidding war between the teams during auction. His skills are second to none with him being the most effective in the powerplays and middle overs in the innings. Moreover, Cummins can play handy cameos late in the order to provide a fitting end to the innings.



Mitchell Starc: Mitchell Starc has been the guy who has been an apple of everyone's eye no matter what his mischieves are. The pacer's stocks have been on a rise for many years and they do not know how to fall. Though most of the times Stac has remained out of the IPL to manage his workload, his abilities with the ball in hand have kept all the IPL franchises in a loop. 



The Aussie pacer can deliver in the powerplays and even in death overs - two of the most challenging phases of the innings. He is equipped to delivery both, conventional swing and reverse swing, at high speeds. Moreover, he is a handy batter to tonk a few hits here and there at the end of the innings.



Shardul Thakur: There are not many Indian players who offer fast bowling abilities with some batting skills and Shardul Thakur is one of the few who fits the criteria. Often critisised to leak runs, Shardul Thakur's most potent weapon is his slower bouncers and wobble seam delivery. He has the knack for producing wickets when nothing works for a team. To add to this, he has the element of batting down the order and increase the scoring rate.

Rachin Ravindra: With teams struggling to find a worthy opener, New Zealand batter Rachin Ravindra has emerged as the solution for them. However, this is just not it. Ravindra has also showed his potential to bat anywhere in the innings be it top order, middle order or down the order. To add cherry on the cake, the Kiwi can deliver a few quick overs in between giving his captain an added advantage of a fingerspinner.



Gerald Coetzee: The recent ODI World Cup turned out to be fruitful for the young players and Gerald Coetzee was one of them, who enjoyed his outing in the coveted tournament. The Protea pacer has the knack of hitting consistently 140 Kmph and knocking off the batter in any phase of the innings. Despite playing just eight games in the recently held World Cup, Coetzee managed to feature in the fifth place in the list of top wicket takers, which shows his consistently in picking wickets regularly.

Top 5 Most Expensive Players in IPL 2024 Auction on December 19

NZ vs PAK: In a key update ahead of the New Zealand vs Pakistan 5th and final T20I in Christchurch, the Kiwis have pulled back the participation of Daryl Mitchell. The all-rounder will no longer participate in the 5th T20I at the Hagley Oval against Pakistan.



The decision was taken keeping in mind the workload of the all-rounder, who has been on the roll since August 30 last year. Mitchell has been a vital cog in New Zealand's three format lineups and has featured in 28 matches in the last six months. 



Daryl Mitchell will have a few days break before he returns to the side for the crucial two-match test series against South Africa, starting February 04 followed by a T20I and Test series against Australia, starting February 21.



Notably, New Zealand have called in Rachin Ravindra to replace Daryl Mitchell. New Zealand's coach Gary Stead confirmed the development:



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
https://twitter.com/BLACKCAPS/status/1748537743666446339
</div></figure>



"We've made a call to give Daryl Mitchell a break from this game. We've obviously got some important Test matches leading up," Stead said. "Daryl's a three-format player, so it's really important that we do manage his workload over this period. He's highly likely to play a big part in the rest of our [home] season. So we just thought this is an opportune time [to give him a break], given the series is won."



"But it's also nice to introduce Rachin back into the side. He's been on a period of break, and came back and played one game for Wellington Firebirds [in the domestic T20s]. He fits well into the team in the role that we'd like him to play."



With New Zealand already 4-0 up in the T20I series against Pakistan, the move to rest Daryl Mitchell makes sense. The Kiwis would look to sweep Pakistan in the 5th T20I on January 21 in Christchurch.



Below are the updated squads for New Zealand vs Pakistan 5th T20I:



New Zealand T20I Squad: Kane Williamson (c), Mark Chapman, Glenn Phillips, Finn Allen, Mitchell Santner, Devon Conway, Rachin Ravindra, Matt Henry, Adam Milne, Tim Seifert, Ben Sears, Ish Sodhi, Tim Southee.



Pakistan Squad:?Shaheen Afridi (c), Fakhar Zaman, Sahibzada Farhan, Babar Azam, Aamer Jamal, Iftikhar Ahmed, Saim Ayub, Azam Khan, Haseebullah Khan, Mohammad Nawaz, Abbas Afridi, Abrar Ahmed, Mohammad Rizwan, Mohammad Wasim Jr, Usama Mir, Haris Rauf, Zaman Khan.

NZ vs PAK: New Zealand rest Daryl Mitchell for 5th T20I, calls Rachin Ravindra as replacement against Pakistan

nz-vs-pak-new-zealand-rest-daryl-mitchell-for-5th-t20i-calls-rachin-ravindra-as-replacement-against-pakistan

New Zealand vs Australia: After defeating Mitchell Santner-led New Zealand in a last-ball thriller first T20i match at Wellington?s Sky Stadium on Wednesday, February 21st, Mitchell Marsh-led Australia will be aiming to win the second T20 International and seal the three-match T20i series against the Kiwis on Friday, February 23rd. The second T20i between the two Trans-Tasman rivals is set to take place at Auckland?s Eden Park Stadium. The match will commence at 11:40 am IST.



In the previous match, the duo of Rachin Ravindra (68 runs in 35 balls) and Devon Conway (63 runs in 36 balls) scored a brilliant half-century for the hosts, but their efforts went in vain thanks to the heroics of Aussie Skipper Mitchell Marsh (72* runs in 44 balls) and Tim David (31 runs in 10 balls). Their heroics helped the Kangaroos chase down a total of 216 runs on the final delivery of the first T20i. David in particular was at his brutal best in the death over as he hammered a four and multiple sixes on the last three balls of the 19th over, and then he hit a six, two runs, and a four on the final three deliveries of the 20th over to seal the win for the Australian team.

The Mumbai Indians batter would like to come up with another good performance on Friday in the second T20i against New Zealand and help the Aussies seal the three-match T20i series. On the other hand, the second T20i is a must win match for the Kiwis if they want to stay alive in the series. After a poor bowling display in the first T20i, the bowling unit of the hosts, led by Tim Southee, would be looking to keep the Aussie batters quiet and help their side level the series 1-1.

The fewer for the <a href="https://www.iplt20.com" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.iplt20.com">Indian Premier League</a> (IPL)? 2024 is on and the excitement has taken its toll on the fans. Going into the tournament, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will be one of the hot favourites to win the tournament. The talent and the experience that they have makes them one of the top contenders for IPL 2024.?



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Three opening combinations that CSK can try for IPL 2024&nbsp;</h2>



CSK will be missing the services of Devon Conway for the first part of the IPL 2024. This no doubt will hamper their opening combination because the Kiwi batter was one of the main reasons behind their success last year.&nbsp;



But him with being ruled out for the first part of the IPL, it?ll be a great opportunity for someone else to chip in. As the IPL 2024 is just a few days away now, let?s take a look at three opening combinations that CSK can try for IPL 2024:&nbsp;



Ruturaj Gaikwad and Rachin Ravindra?



Ruturaj Gaikwad opening the innings alongside Rachin Ravindra will be one of the ideal combinations that CSK can try for the IPL 2024. While Gaikwad has locked the spot for the team in the last few years, Rachin has done exceptionally well on the international stage. Opening the innings, he has been staggering for New Zealand in white-ball cricket and his being at the top provides the team with a left-right combination.?

Ruturaj Gaikwad and Ajinkya Rahane



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/02/Ajinkya-Rahane-1.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-127111" /></figure>



Another opening combination that CSK might try for the IPL 2024 is Ruturaj Gaikwad and Ajinkya Rahane. The senior batter has a great experience of opening the innings and might be perfect with Gaikwad. Rahane was terrific with the bat during the last season of the IPL and played some handy knocks for the team. Batting in the powerplay will allow him to bat more freely and score runs quickly.?



Ruturaj Gaikwad and Daryl Mitchell?



To open the innings with Ruturaj Gaikwad and Daryl Mitchell will be another ideal option for CSK for the IPL 2024. The Kiwi all-rounder is the backbone of his national team in the middle order. But he has opened the innings quite a few times. Batting him at the top allows CSK to play Mooen Ali in the middle order and other Indian domestic players as well.&nbsp;



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Chennai Super Kings (CSK) squad for the IPL 2024&nbsp;</h2>



Here is the Chennai Super Kings squad for the IPL 2024&nbsp;



MS Dhoni (c), Moeen Ali, Deepak Chahar, Devon Conway, Tushar Deshpande, Shivam Dube, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Rajvardhan Hangargekar, Ravindra Jadeja, Ajay Mandal, Mukesh Choudhary, Matheesha Pathirana, Ajinkya Rahane, Shaik Rasheed, Mitchell Santner, Simarjeet Singh, Nishant Sindhu, Prashant Solanki, Mahesh Theekshana, Rachin Ravindra, Shardul Thakur, Daryl Mitchell, Sameer Rizvi, Mustafizur Rahman, Avanish Rao Aravelly.&nbsp;
