Chennai Super Kings anticipate suffering a significant setback before their match against Mumbai Indians since their premier all-rounder is allegedly expected to miss 10 days of play owing to an injury.
Chennai Super Kings’ IPL 2023 season got off to a bad start when they were defeated by the defending champion Gujarat Titans by a score of 5 wickets. They had a strong recovery, though, and beat Lucknow Super Giants by 12 runs in their subsequent game. The MS Dhoni-led team will now take on the Mumbai Indians on Saturday night at the Wankhede Stadium. Ben Stokes, their best all-around player, is apparently expected to miss the action for 10 days due to injury, so they fear a major blow before the game.
According to a source in The Indian Express, Stokes experienced heel soreness after CSK practised at the Wankhede Stadium the day before their game against MI. The CSK medical staff will evaluate the circumstance before making a final decision on the player, it was noted.
Stokes has participated in both of CSK’s games so far in IPL 2023. Although his performance in any of the games has not been particularly noteworthy.
In the heated competition at the IPL auction in 2023. CSK forked for a staggering price of Rs 16.25 crore to acquire Stokes. Ben Stokes’ bid brought him up to Chris Morris’ threshold. Making him the joint third-most expensive player in IPL auction history.
Stokes, meanwhile, outbid Deepak Chahar to become CSK’s most expensive IPL auction purchase.
Bids for the 2023 IPL auction broke previous records. Sam Curran, an all-rounder for England, set a record for highest player price paid in an IPL auction. Punjab Kings paid a hefty sum of Rs 18.50 crore to acquire him.
