Dhruv Shorey, the young promising batsman from Delhi, should fill in this slot. The form of Shane Watson is a huge worry for CSK and now a decision needs to be made. On a sluggish Chepauk track, the prospect of playing Mitchell Santner instead of the burly Australian seems to be a better option, but will Dhoni opt for the all-rounder remains to be seen.

Ambati Rayudu, Faf du Plessis, Suresh Raina, Dhruv Shorey, MS Dhoni, Dwayne Bravo, Mitchell Santner, Ravindra Jadeja, Harbhajan Singh, Deepak Chahar, Imran Tahir
