CSK's schedule for IPL 2020

MS Dhoni's men come into IPL 2020 on the back of some really unfortunate events. Over 10 members of the support staff tested positive for COVID-19, resulting in their quarantine period being extended by a week. CSK started training very recently, but have still been slated to play the opening game of IPL 2020.

CSK have also been stricken by withdrawals. Vice-captain Suresh Raina and veteran bowler Harbhajan Singh pulled out of IPL 2020 citing personal reasons, leaving the team with no No. 3 batsman and off-spinner respectively.

The Men in Yellow are yet to announce a replacement for both players, and it has even been rumoured that the former could make a comeback to the camp in the UAE.

Indian pacer Deepak Chahar and young batsman Ruturaj Gaikwad, both of whom tested positive for COVID-19, are reported to be recovering well and even if they're not able to play against MI, they shouldn't miss too many games.

CSK will need their senior players to step up if they are to pull level with Rohit Sharma's MI as the most decorated team in the history of the IPL.
