After a gruelling home season, it's time to celebrate T20 cricket, as the biggest T20 carnival, the Indian Premier League, is all set to commence on the 31st of this month. With ten teams to battle it out for the coveted trophy, the showpiece event promises to be a cracking one. 

Speaking of Chennai Super Kings, the men in yellow will start from scratch, as they had a disastrous campaign last season, finishing at the ninth position in the points table. 

As CSK gear up for the tournament opener against Gujarat Titans, former KKR player Aakash Chopra has opined that this could be a career-defining season for Ravindra Jadeja, who received massive backlash for his poor form and captaincy in the IPL last season. 

Furthermore, Chopra also reckoned that CSK wouldn't include Ajinkya Rahane in their playing XI. 


Here's what Chopra stated

"I feel it could be the defining season for Ravindra Jadeja the T20 player because the last year was not good. He got injured mid-season and lost the captaincy as well. So it will be worth seeing how he performs this year,

"They have picked Ajju (Ajinkya Rahane) but they will not play him. Whether Ambati Rayudu will be able to play all the matches, that will be the question."

Led by MS Dhoni, Chennai Super Kings will take on Hardik Pandya's Gujarat Titans in the first game of the tournament on March 31.
