4 Overseas Players Who Are Likely To Start For CSK In IPL 2026: Dewald Brevis, Nathan Ellis And...
After a major squad rebuild following a disappointing 2025 season, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) retained four key overseas players and added more via the IPL 2026 mini-auction.
With Matheesha Pathirana moving to KKR in a record-breaking deal during the IPL 2026 auction and the departure of high-profile names like Devon Conway, Rachin Ravindra and Sam Curran, CSK has had to restructure their foreign strategy. The 2026 CSK squad features a mix of high-potential youth and tactical specialists suited for the Chepauk surface.
Here are the four overseas players who are likely to feature in CSK's starting XI for IPL 2026:
CSK's Predicted Playing XI For IPL 2026: Ruturaj Gaikwad To Lead, Sanju Samson-Ayush Mhatre As Openers, Dewald Brevis At No.5; MS Dhoni, Kartik Sharma To Bat At...
In a move uncharacteristic of their "Dad's Army" reputation, the five-time champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have pivoted aggressively towards youth, shelling out record sums for young uncapped Indian players like Prashant Veer (Left-arm spin all-rounder) and Kartik Sharma (wicketkeeper-batter) for Rs 14.20 crore each during the IPL 2026 auction. The joint-record breaking bids for uncapped Indian duo of Prashant and Kartik highlights CSK's belief in their potential to become future match-winners.
After retentions, a major trade (acquiring Sanju Samson from RR), and the mini-auction, CSK have assembled a refreshed squad blending youth, experience, and power-hitting for the IPL 2026 auction:

The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 is likely to resume soon after a ceasefire agreement between India and Pakistan. According to an Indian Express report, the BCCI is contemplating to host the remaining IPL 2025 matches in the three venues - Chennai, Bengaluru and Hyderabad from May 16. The new schedule will be released to the IPL franchise by Sunday night.

Notably, the overseas players of the most franchises have left India after the suspension of IPL 2025 on Friday, a day after the Punjab Kings vs Delhi Capitals match in Dharamsala due to India-Pakistan border tension.
