2019 is going to be a cricket festival as the World Cup 2019 is scheduled to take place after the IPL and the latter has been preponed in order to give players enough time to recover and be fit for the World Cup. The Chennai Super Kings have many first-team players from India and other countries and the fear of injury will always be there. Faf Du Plessis, Imran Tahir, Lungi Ngidi and David Willey are expected to leave halfway through the tournament and this will leave CSK with a depleted overseas roster.

The fact that players like Rayudu, Dhoni and Jadeja will be cautious is another concern for the Men in Yellow. Also, Dwayne Bravo and Shane Watson, their 2 primary overseas stars, will be returning from the Pakistan Super League which ends on March 17th.

With the IPL starting on March 23rd, the workload will clearly be more for them. CSK could have released a couple more players and bought someone fresh, who will be available for the entire tournament, but their actions were questionable.
