Many IPL franchises are requesting BCCI to increase the number of overseas players in the playing XI to 5. According to the current rules of IPL, only 4 overseas players can be part of the playing XI in any match. Chennai Super Kings too, are on the list who have a plethora of quality international superstars.

A team should have 7 Indian players- capped or uncapped- and 4 overseas players in the playing XI. A team can also go with 8 domestic players and 3 overseas players in a match if they want to. However, the number of overseas players cannot exceed 4 in any match.

However, this rule might change in IPL 2022. With the addition of two more teams in IPL 2022, the tournament will witness the participation of 10 teams. Along with franchises, few cricket experts are also in the favour of increasing overseas players’ limit to 5 in matches. Here we talk about Chennai Super Kings predicted XI if 5 overseas players are allowed in IPL.

MS Dhoni is the first player in the predicted XI and he should also be the skipper. MS Dhoni has led Chennai Super Kings since IPL 2008 and he can continue the role of captain for few more seasons. He has led CSK to three IPL titles in IPL 2010, IPL 2011, and IPL 2018.
