The IPL 2024 season is crucial for Ruturaj Gaikwad because it will immediately be followed by the T20 World Cup. Gaikwad was impressive in the chances he got for India’s T20I team since the last IPL.

#2. Deepak Chahar
India had hoped for Deepak Chahar to skill up his game and nurture him to become a solid number 8 pace-bowling all-rounder. However, his injuries in the last couple of years have forced him to miss matches both for India and CSK.

#3. Daryl Mitchell
CSK seemed to have gone into the auction with the clear mindset of roping in New Zealand’s Daryl Mitchell, for whom they spent 14 crore, after releasing their 16 crore pick, Ben Stokes, from the previous auction.
Mitchell is likely to slot straight into CSK’s XI, replacing the retired Ambati Rayudu. Mitchell had a fantastic World Cup 2023. As per the CSK players in IPL 2024, He was the fifth-leading scorer in the tournament, with 552 runs at an average of 69 and a strike rate of 111, and slammed two hundreds, both against India.
