IPL 2020: Chennai Super Kings SWOT analysis

Opportunities

Sam Curran played for KXIP last season

Youngsters have the opportunity to make an impact

The younger players in the squad will be looking to make a mark in the upcoming IPL season, with players such as Lungisani Ngidi, Ravindra Jadeja, and Sam Curran keen to cement their spots in the national side for the 2020 World T20 squad.

CSK has been a breeding ground for players who eventually end up doing well for their national teams. Deepak Chahar's stellar performances in the IPL earned him a national team call-up while Shardul Thakur has also played quite a few matches in the shortest format of the game.

Another great opportunity for CSK is to lift the IPL trophy for the fourth time and match the Mumbai Indians' record for the most trophies won in the tournament. With the highest win percentage (61.34%) in the history of IPL, CSK do have the firepower to go all the way in IPL 2020 as well.

Furthermore, MS Dhoni and his troops have a 67.44% win record at the M. A. Chidambaram Stadium in Chepauk, Chennai. Backed by the outstanding home support, CSK will be keen to do well on their home turf.
