Middle-order: Ambati Rayudu, Ben Stokes, Ravindra Jadeja, MS Dhoni (c & wk), Shivam Dube

CSK have a potent middle-order with the addition of Stokes to the line-up. Ambati Rayudu and Ben Stokes will be the number four and five in this line-up. Further, Ravindra Jadeja and MS Dhoni will don the role of finishers. Also, Shivam Dube can be a good option for number eight, providing batting depth and an extra bowling option.
