5) Chennai Super Kings (7/10) scored 7.44 runs per over in the powerplay:
The Chennai Super Kings are rated 6 because they had the resources but couldn’t use them appropriately. They had some of the top openers in world cricket. The presence of Rituraj Gaikwad and Devon Conway had frightened the opposition. They also had a choice to play Moeen Ali at number 3. Ambati Rayudu could have played at number 3 as well. Shivam Dube looks like an ideal number 4. With all these options, they still managed to score only 7.44 runs in an over in TATA IPL 2022.
MS Dhoni himself was very critical of the slow run rate in the powerplay. With that being said, they can certainly improve this season. They have another added option of Ajinkya Rahane who had a splendid SMAT 2022. Asking Moeen Ali to bat at number 3 is the most ideal thing. They can also use Ambati Rayudu as a floater in TATA IPL 2023
