Unlike Punjab, Chennai kick-started this season with a loss as captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni and his bowled failed to restrict Delhi Capitals last week. With fast bowler Lungi Ngidi having completed his mandatory seven-day hotel quarantine, it will be interesting to see which overseas player will sit out to accommodate him in CSK’s Playing XI.
