Don’t Believe CSK Will Win the IPL in 2023: A Bold Forecast from an Ex-Indian Player

S Sreesanth, a former Indian pacer, believes that Chennai Super Kings will not be able to lift the Indian Premier League trophy this season. CSK has won the IPL four times, with the most recent victory occurring in 2021. Despite being barred from the league for two straight seasons, the franchise is only behind Mumbai Indians, who have won five IPL championships. While all of CSK’s titles have occurred during his rule, MS Dhoni has been the architect of their success. Sreesanth believes that the team won’t be able to win the trophy this year, despite the fact that he will once again be seen leading the team in IPL 2023.

“I don’t believe so (that CSK will win IPL 2023). Sanju Samson is the sole captain of the Mallu, and I am rooting for them (Rajasthan Royals). But, a new team winning would be exciting. If RCB won the IPL in 2023, I would be quite happy. It would be wonderful for RCB to win because Virat (Kohli) has contributed so much to Indian cricket “told Sports Yaari, Sreesanth.

RCB has participated in three IPL finals so far without having any success. They initially competed in the lucrative league’s championship game in 2009, where they were defeated by the now-defunct Deccan Chargers. In 2011, the team competed in its second final, which CSK ultimately won. In 2016, Sunrisers Hyderabad defeated them in the team’s most recent IPL final.

With two titles, Kolkata Knight Riders is the third-most successful IPL team, behind Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians.
