### Team analysis

ESPNcricinfo' wrote "In the auction 2020, CSK got what they wanted. The team wisely chose Sam Curran and Josh Hazlewood for the Chennai pitch. Although some may say that Piyush Chawla was not included in the team, the franchise may have wanted more experience in the team and there would have been a better balance of Chawla as an alternative to Imran Tahir. Except for the lack of a left-arm fast bowler, the team does not have much problem."
