Suresh Raina is a legend of the IPL and is the leading run-getter across all the seasons of the tournament. He might not be in the scheme of things for the World Cup 2019, but India's fragile middle order may just give him an outside chance at making the squad if he has a dream IPL, which is an absolute possibility, considering his talent in this format.

MS Dhoni will be there to lead the yellow brigade again for the 10th consecutive season since the inception in 2008 and will be looking forward to making it two titles in a row.

His own form in 2019 thus far has been good, but a repeat of his 2018 performances will be the need of the hour for CSK.

Kedhar Jadhav will be eagerly waiting for this season as he did not feature in any match except for 'that' one match in his maiden season for the CSK. Having sealed his spot for the World Cup, he will look to work on his fitness be injury free in this IPL.
