MI vs CSK: Is Ben Stokes Playing Today’s IPL 2023 Match?

It is a huge setback for the Chennai Super Kings that their premier all-rounder Ben Stokes might not be available for the MI vs CSK IPL 2023 match on Saturday. According to a report by the Indian Express, the England cricketer suffered a heel pain post the training session on Friday and subsequently, has been advised ten days of rest by the medical team. However, it will be really difficult for the Chennai Super Kings to replace Stokes in the CSK playing 11 even though the all-rounder has not contributed much with the bat or ball so far in the ongoing IPL 2023 season. It is very much likely that South Africa’s pacer Sisanda Magala will be making his IPL 2023 debut for Chennai Super Kings against Mumbai Indians or they can also bring in his Proteas teammate Dwaine Pretorius who can contribute with the bat as well.
