Virat Kohli is the highest run scorer in the tournament with 8004 runs, while Hitman Rohit Sharma is third in this list with 6628 runs. Virat Kohli is also the highest century scorer in IPL with 8 centuries. Both these star players can make a splash as openers.
Ashwin has placed Suresh Raina, popularly known as ‘Mr. IPL’ and ‘Chinna Thala’, at number 3 in his team. Raina has played a very important role in making CSK a successful team and he has played many wonderful innings for Chennai at this number.
At number 4, Ashwin has placed Suryakumar Yadav, the most dangerous batsman in the T20 format at present, and AB de Villiers at number 5. After getting rid of Kohli-Rohit and Raina, the opposition team’s batsmen will have to deal with Surya and ABD in the middle order. Both of them can also play the role of finisher.
