Cricket?s biggest T20 tournament, IPL 2024, is all set to start in March 2024. In such a situation, all the franchises have already started their preparations for the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League. The 17th edition is going to be very special for the league's most popular team, the Chennai Super Kings, because all the experts and cricket lovers are speculating that this is going to be the last IPL season for CSK captain MS Dhoni. In such a situation, all eyes will be on MS Dhoni and the yellow army.



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block" id="rank-math-toc"><nav><div><div class=""><a href="#chennai-super-kings-ipl-2024-strongest-playing-11">Chennai Super Kings IPL 2024: Strongest Playing 11</a></div><div class=""><a href="#full-squad-of-chennai-super-kings-after-the-2024-ipl-auction">Full Squad of Chennai Super Kings After the 2024 IPL Auction</a></div><div class=""><a href="#chennai-super-kings-ipl-2024-squad-composition">Chennai Super Kings IPL 2024 Squad Composition</a></div></div></nav></div>



We saw the popularity of CSK in the 16th edition of the IPL when all the cricket lovers celebrated Chennai's victory and chanted their hearts out to watch Dhoni come out to bat. Last season, whenever Dhoni and company played their matches, the Yellow Army fans came to the stadiums in huge numbers, and they made sure that the CSK players felt like they were playing at their home ground, Chepauk. Whether the match was being held at the Mumbai Indians' home ground, Wankhede Stadium, or Bangalore's M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, every stadium of each IPL franchise was filled with crowds of the Yellow Army.



Dhoni repaid the audience's love for him and his team in the best possible fashion as he led the Chennai Super Kings to their fifth IPL Trophy. The former Indian skipper is ready to take the field once again this season. But all the fans are worried about one thing: whether the upcoming season of the IPL is going to be the final season of his career or not, and if it's his final IPL season, will Dhoni be able to lead his team to their sixth title one last time under his captaincy or not?



The players that were bought by the CSK management at the 2024 IPL auction are pretty skilled, and they have the caliber in them to win the sixth IPL title for the Chennai-based team.



At the 2024 IPL Auction, the defending champions purchased six players, with the Kiwi duo of Rachin Ravindra (1.8 crore rupees) and Daryl Mitchell (14 crore rupees) and Indian All-Rounder Shardul Thakur (4 crore rupees) being the most notable additions to the CSK roster.



The CSK management did not shy away from spending a large sum of money on youngsters, as they paid 8.40 crore rupees for Sameer Rizvi, the right-handed Suresh Raina. The 20-year-old is well-known for his exploits in the Uttar Pradesh T20 League, having scored the fastest century of the tournament in the very first season of the UP-T20.



Shardul Thakur?s acquisition provides the Yellow Army?s young pace bowling unit with some much-needed solidity and experience. The presence of Mukesh Choudhary, Deepak Chahar, and Shardul Thakur, as well as death specialists Matheesha Pathirana and Tushar Deshpande, makes CSK?s bowling attack one of the best ahead of IPL 2024.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/12/CSK-IPL-2024.jpg" alt="CSK Squad IPL 2024 Auction: Chennai Super Kings Full Team, Retained Players, Auction Buys, Foreign Players, Salary" class="wp-image-124076" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image: IPLT20.com</figcaption></figure>



Mustafizur Rahman was also added to the Yellow Army?s squad ahead of IPL 2024, and he would be an excellent backup for Pathirana. CSK concluded the auction process by purchasing young wicketkeeper Avanish Rao Aravelly, who would serve as a backup to skipper MS Dhoni.



With so many all-rounders at their disposal, CSK looks to have covered every spot on their roster, and under the captaincy of the legendary Mahendra Singh Dhoni, the Super Kings are looking extremely dangerous ahead of IPL 2024, and they would like to give the best possible farewell to their skipper, MSD, by lifting the IPL trophy for the sixth time as the upcoming season of the IPL is expected to be his final season in the T20 tournament.

Dhoni's team, Chennai Super Kings, is going to win the IPL-2024.?Know?how? CSK-2024

dhonis-team-chennai-super-kings-is-going-to-win-the-ipl-2024-know-how-csk-2024

Following a tedious process of nearly two months, season seventeen of the Indian Premier League (IPL) has reached its fag end with the top four teams competing among themselves for the coveted title for 2024. Now is the time when the actual game begins and where the real business lies for the IPL teams. With 4 of the best teams stacked up right at the top of the IPL 2024, it remains to be seen who will actually go on to clinch the IPL 2024 title. This article will discuss the possibilities of the teams, who have the maximum chance of winning the IPL 2024.



It's noteworthy that being on top during the league phases is a different case and going on to win the IPL title is a completely different ball game. Hence, the winning chances can't be fully determined by just analysing the team's performances during the league stage. Often the last team to qualify for the playoff ends up winning it by defeating the team up at the top of the points table.



This edition of the IPL has seen the rise of Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Sunrisers Hyderabad along with the late resurrection of Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). The aforementioned teams have qualified for the IPL 2024 playoffs.



Shreyas Iyer's KKR will take on Sunirsers Hyderabad (SRH) in the qualifier 1 on May 21, while it will be Rajasthan Royals (RR) who will lock horns with Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the eliminator on May 22.



Let's now discuss the possibilities of the top 4 teams to win the IPL 2024 title:



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR)</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/05/KKR-1024x683.jpg" alt="Who Will Win IPL 2024? A Simple Breakdown" class="wp-image-134038"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image: IPLT20</figcaption></figure>



KKR are on a roll this season. It won't be wrong to say that they are the front runners to be in the final of the IPL 2024 and then go on to lift the title. With just 3 losses in the 14 games held during the league stages, they sit atop the IPL points table with an unassailable 20 rating points.



They began their campaign in the IPL 2024 with three wins on the bounce and then capitalised on it throughout the competition. They have all of their bases covered and used every opportunity during the competition to form a formidable outfit. 



KKR has the ability to pile up the massive totals with their bolstered batting unit. The bowlers too have done well to complement the batters and restrict the opposition to subpar totals.



The basic fact that they can be the winners of the IPL 2024 is because of their overall composition of the side, which hasn't let the team down yet. All bases are covered and are firing in unison to lead KKR to their third IPL title.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Rajasthan Royals (RR)</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/04/RR-1024x683.jpg" alt="Who Will Win IPL 2024? A Simple Breakdown" class="wp-image-132919"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image: IPLT20</figcaption></figure>



Sanju Samson-led Rajasthan Royals (RR) were one of the top sides to enter the IPL 2024 playoffs, but their stocks have seen a sharp decline during the last leg in the league stages. Though they are ranked third in the points table with 8 wins and 5 losses, it doesn't tell a complete story of how their IPL 2024 campaign has panned out.



RR started off storming with four consecutive wins defeating LSG, DC, MI and RCB. Their winning run was halted by Gujarat Titans in the fifth game, but RR soon got stock of the situation and returned to winning ways in the next fixture. The team again strengthened its position atop the IPL Points Table with yet another four wins on the bounce. 



However, what followed next for RR is nothing but an eye-opener. The table toppers till then, who had just a single loss and 8 wins in 9 matches, went on to lose their next 4 matches. 



They certainly do not have the winning momentum which has resulted in their diminishing chances of winning the IPL 2024 title. However, they can still keep their heads high owing to their sublime show during the early phase of the league stage and find some inspiration there to turn up in the eliminator.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH)</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/05/SRH-1024x683.jpg" alt="Who Will Win IPL 2024? A Simple Breakdown" class="wp-image-133898"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image: IPL</figcaption></figure>



A change in leadership has done wonders for the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), who have tasted success in the recent past. Australian skipper Pat Cummins was roped in by the franchise by shelling out a huge sum of money during the auction and the returns on the investment are beyond measurements.



Pat Cummins has led the side successfully so far as they see themselves in the IPL 2024 playoff. The players are brimming with confidence and there is no stopping their rampage this season.



It won't be wrong to say that some of the most memorable games this season of the IPL are produced with the involvement of SRH. 



The biggest strength SRH has right now is their batting unit which has exploited every condition on offer. Their openers followed by the destructive middle order and then a string of tormenting finishers have kept everyone on their toes and made the job easy for the bowlers.



However, what comes as their biggest fear is that what if their batters fail to produce a big score during the playoffs then how will their bowlers manage to defend it? It's not that their bowling unit is not capable of defending it, but they haven't done it as of now during the league phase.



SRH can still rise riding high on the momentum and has a very good chance of success and win their second IPL title this season.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB)</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/05/RCB-IPL-2024-1024x683.jpg" alt="Who Will Win IPL 2024? A Simple Breakdown" class="wp-image-134306"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image: IPLT20</figcaption></figure>



It was a distant dream for RCB to be in the top four of the IPL 2024 when they were languishing at the bottom of the IPL Points Table. However, their miraculous performances in the last leg of the league phase have turned their fortunes for good. 



RCB's campaign took a sharp turn when they registered their second win against SRH on April 25. The team then went on a winning spree and notched up six wins consecutively.



Though RCB is the last team to join the playoffs, they surely pose as a serious contender to win the title in 2024. Every department of theirs is firing and the flaws seem to be gone. The batting unit led by Virat Kohli is roaring. The middle order has somehow found its mojo and the bowlers are performing impressively in tandem.



The winning momentum, as well, is by their side as well which will aid the side in fetching their maiden IPL title.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Final Conclusion: Who Will Win IPL 2024?</h2>



Going by the overall performance and the balance of the playing unit, Shreyas Iyer's Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) appears to be the one winning the <a href="https://iplt20.com">IPL</a> 2024 trophy. RCB seems to be second on the list owing to their magical show in the recent past followed by Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Rajasthan Royals (RR).

The wait for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is all set to be over. The tournament will begin on 19th February, and the final will take place on 9th March. The India team, no doubt, will be one of the hot favourites to win the tournament, which will be played in a hybrid model. 
India will be playing all their ICC Champions Trophy 2025 games in Dubai. The Rohit Sharma-led side will be beginning their campaign against Bangladesh on 20th February, and, after that, will be playing Pakistan on 23rd February, followed by New Zealand on 2nd March. 
The departure date of India for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 also has been revealed. As per the reports in Times of India, it is learned that the Rohit Sharma-led side will be travelling to Dubai on 15th February. The reports added that more clarity on the same will come in the coming days. 
<h2>India won't be playing any warmup matches ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025</h2>
Not only this, it is learned that India also won't be playing any warmup matches ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This is because all the teams will be in Pakistan, and hence, it will be difficult for the International Cricket Council (ICC) to arrange the warmup match. 
The reports added that India team management is happy with the net session ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This is because they will be playing the three-match ODI series against England, which will begin on 6th February across three venues in India. 
Apart from this, it is reported that the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 won't be having a captain photoshoot because of the different challenges along with the different arrivals of the team. This means that Rohit Sharma won't be travelling to Pakistan for this and will be staying in Dubai with the team. 
The opening ceremony of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 will be held in Lahore. There were talks of having the event in Karachi but the Pakistan Cricket Board decided to host it in Lahore.

India batter Shubman Gill has started his preparations for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The premier batter has returned to nets for the white-ball practice as he was named in the Indian team for the ODI series against England and the ICC tournament. 
Shubman Gill has been under a lot of pressure for his poor outings with the bat, especially in Test cricket. With the emergence of Yashasvi Jaiswal, who delivered consistent performances, there were a lot of questions about the place of Gill, even in the ODIs. 
Several fans and experts also have backed Yashasvi Jaiswal to open the innings for India in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 along with Rohit Sharma. However, amid all this Shubman Gill is making sure that he gives his best to train for the tournament. 
With England ODIs and ICC Champions Trophy 2025 around the corner, Shubman Gill was seen batting in the Punjab Cricket Association Stadium. He was seen batting with the white-ball ahead of the tournament and the video can be seen at the end of the article. 
Shubman Gill looked in golden touch with the bat as he played a pull towards the four before blocking the balls. The batter would be eager to make a strong comeback and reply to all the criticism in style with his performances in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. 
Shubman Gill recently played the Ranji Trophy 2024-25 for Punjab. The batter was the lone warrior for his team as he hit a magnificent century and returned to form after having a poor outing in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, where he played just three games. 
Shubman Gill would want to carry on his form and help a team win. He has been one of the best batters for India in ODIs. He also has been named as the vice-captain of the team for the tournament and with added responsibility under his belt, a lot will be reliant on him.

Pakistan batter Babar Azam has been in the news for the last few days, especially with the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 around the corner. The batter's name has been discussed a lot related to making him open, especially with no clarity over Saim Ayub. 
Pakistan is the only team that has yet to announce the squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Since the last few days, he has been in the news as there have been a lot of reports that have suggested that there are chances that he might open the innings for the team. 
However, the fresh reports in Cricket Pakistan have revealed that there are no plans to make Babar Azam open the innings. The reports added that the selection committee has not given the green signal to the development as they feel that batter will be best suited in the middle order. 
<h2>Selectors want a proper opener in the role; Babar Azam to at in middle-order</h2>
The reports claimed that selectors want a proper opener in the role. One of the openers that has been finalized by the management is Fakhar Zaman. However, with Saim Ayub likely to miss out, it is learned that Imam-ul-Haq is also in contention to take the role. 
Babar Azam has been the best batter for Pakistan in ODIs. The batter has mustered truckloads of runs for the team in the format while batting at No.3 and he will be extremely crucial for his team in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, which will be played in Pakistan with India games to be played in India. 
Babar Azam also has been a decent opener as well. He has been opening for the team in T20Is and has achieved massive success as well. He also opened in Test cricket during the recent South Africa series and aced that challenge as well, slamming two half-centuries in two innings. 
But, in white-ball cricket, Babar Azam has been criticised a lot for opening in T20Is. This is because he has failed to maximise the powerplay and has been batting with a low strike rate. It remains to be seen where he will be batting for the team in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

India assistant coach Ryan Ten Doeschate has provided a massive fitness update about batter Rinku Singh ahead of the fourth IND vs ENG T20I. He mentioned that the left-hander has gained full fitness and will be playing the next match of the five-match T20I series. 
India and England are all set to lock horns with each other in the fourth match of the T20I series. The game is all set to be played at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune on Thursday (30th January). The series is currently at 2-1, with hosts in the lead. 
India has been without the services of Rinku Singh for the last two games of the IND vs ENG series. The left-hander sustained a low back spasm while fielding in the first game and was then ruled out of the next two games of the series as he was under the observation of the BCCI medical team. 
In his place, the India team added Dhruv Jurel to the XI, and the move didn't pay off. The keeper-batter batted lower down the order and struggled to get going in both games, and it potentially cost them the last match of the series. 
<h2>Rinku Singh is fit and ready to play tomorrow - Ryan Ten Doeschate</h2>
However, in what will be a massive boost, Rinku Singh has been declared fit for the next two games. The development was confirmed by assistant coach Ryan Ten Doeschate, who said that the batter hit nets and will be playing. He told reporters. 
"Rinku Singh is fit and ready to play tomorrow. He batted yesterday night" 
Rinku Singh has been India's one of the best batters in the T20Is. His absence was felt in the last two games as well, but now, with him being fit, it is expected that he would walk straight into the XI and is likely to add Dhruv Jurel to the team. 
The fourth IND vs ENG T20I will be a great opportunity for India to to seal the series, but they need to make some corrections before heading into the next IND vs ENG match. 
India faced a disappointing 26-run loss in the last match at Rajkot. Their batting was one of the main reasons behind the loss and they would be hoping to make a strong comeback.
