S Sreesanth, a former cricket player, has chosen his finest team from the just-completed Indian Premier League (IPL 2023). The only foreign player to make his preferred team was Rashid Khan.
The Chennai Super Kings (CSK) won the IPL 2023 title after defeating the Gujarat Titans (GT) by five wickets in the final in Ahmedabad on Monday, May 29. Shubman Gill and Mohammad Shami won the Orange and Purple Caps for their performances in both the run-scoring and wicket-taking lists.

Sreesanth was asked to choose his team for the competition during an interview on the Star Sports program Match Point. He replied: “MS Dhoni will lead my side. (Yashasvi) Jaiswal and (Shubman) Gill are going to open for me. No. 3 will be Virat Kohli. No. 4 – the way (Ajinkya) Rahane has been playing is insane. So I will surely put Rahane.”

S Sreesanth, a former Indian pacer, elaborates on his opinion that either Shivam Dube or Rinku Singh can fill the finisher’s position at No. 6: “SKY (Suryakumar Yadav) is going to be my No. 5. Then I will have Shivam Dube because of the way he has been performing. It will be slash Rinku Singh. My keeper obviously will be Mahi bhai (Dhoni).”
S Sreesanth’s bowling attack consisted of two pacers and as many leg spinners, as he stated:
“Bowling unit will be literally GT bowling unit because Mohammad Shami, I will have Rashid (Khan), Yuzvendra (Chahal) from Rajasthan Royals, and one more bowler will be (Mohammed) Siraj,” S Sreesanth said.
