In the 17th match of the Indian Premier League 2023, Chennai Super Kings will take on Rajasthan Royals at MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai. Chennai will look to carry on the same momentum which they got from the match with Mumbai Indians. Rajasthan Royals also had a good game against Delhi Capitals where they crushed the opponent by 57 runs.
Meanwhile, the former Indian batter Aakash Chopra has made a huge statement about the English all-rounder Ben Stokes who is part of CSK this year. The player has failed to perform with the bat and he was not part of the last playing XI against Mumbai Indians.
Aakash Chopra believes that even if Ben Stokes is fit and able to play, he may not be selected for the Chennai Super Kings playing XI in their match against the Rajasthan Royals at Chepauk.
While giving an analysis and previewing this super clash between CSK and RR, Aakash Chopra came on his official Youtube Channel and talked about Ben Stokes.
“Chennai didn’t have Moeen Ali and Ben Stokes in the last match. It won’t make a huge difference whether Ben Stokes will be there or not. I don’t see Ben Stokes playing even if he is available, that’s also a possibility.”
According to Aakash Chopra, the Chennai Super Kings led by MS Dhoni, remain calm and composed even if their star players don’t perform well.
The commentator said, “This team doesn’t think too much as well, that they bought a player for such a huge price and should thus play him, and what happens if he doesn’t score runs? A lot of teams think like that but they don’t. They say it’s fine if he fires, or else they will manage with someone else.”
