===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."<ref>{{cite web |title=IPL auction analysis: Do the eight teams have their best XIs in place?| url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/_/id/28338426/do-eight-teams-their-best-xis-place|website=ESPN|author=}}</ref>
