Before IPL 2026, Chennai Super Kings have decided to make a major change in their batting order. Team captain Ruturaj Gaikwad himself revealed that this season the opening combination will be completely new. Captain Ruturaj Gaikwad made it clear that young batsman Ayush Mhatre will not open this time. In his place, Team India star and T20 World Cup 2026 hero Sanju Samson will open the innings with him. That means Sanju Samson will open with Rituraj this season. This is a big change for Chennai, because last season the team had expressed confidence in Ayush Mhatre.
