Ruturaj Gaikwad
Ruturaj Gaikwad, the Mumbaikar left everyone in shock after his incredible performance in IPL 2021. Gaikwad was the orange cap holder in the season scoring 635 runs in 16 matches.
The opener scored a century against Rajasthan which was noticed by fans and experts over the globe. Gaikwad showed his hitting ability and consistency.

The 25-year-old will look to fulfill the expectations of the fans as he is no. 3 in our list of Indian CSK players to watch out for.
Deepak Chahar
Deepak Chahar, the elite Indian pacer, was picked by Chennai Super Kings in the recently concluded IPL 2022 mega auction for a whopping INR 14 CR. The right-arm pacer has been backed by MS Dhoni-led CSK on many occasions and was set to be their primary pacer in the upcoming season.
The pacer pulled his hamstring in a recent game against West Indies and was ruled out of the Sri Lanka series later on. In case of a grade one tear, the recovery might take more than a month. If it is a grade one tear Chahar will be unavailable for a few matches of IPL 2022 at the beginning. It will be a big blow for the defending champions.
CSK will hope Deepak gets match-fit in time as he will be an asset for them in the upcoming tournament.
MS Dhoni
MS Dhoni, the captain cool has won the title for CSK four-time while leading the team. Dhoni has been the face of CSK. The wicket-keeper has led CSK in every season as the franchise player.
MS Dhoni announced his retirement in 2020 just before the start of the IPL. The 40-year-old has decided to continue playing for the Chennai-based franchise.
Fans will be hoping that the Ranchi-born cricketer adds one more title in the bag as it might possibly be his last IPL season.
