IPL 2021: CSK will struggle this season because 4 out their top 7 don't have game time, says Aakash Chopra

CSK's new squad for IPL 2021 comprises of players like MS Dhoni, Ambati Rayudu and Suresh Raina, who have retired from all forms of international cricket.

Former India cricketer-turned-commentator Aakash Chopra feels Chennai Super Kings will struggle to get going in the Indian Premier League 2021 as most of their top batsmen haven't played any cricket for some time. CSK's new squad for IPL 2021 comprises of players like MS Dhoni and Suresh Raina, who have retired from all forms of international cricket. Ambati Rayudu had also retired from all forms before making a u-turn. Dhoni and Rayudu in fact, last played competitive cricket in IPL 2020 in October-November while Raina missed the entire season due to personal reasons after announcing his retirement just hours after Dhoni on August 15 last year.
