CSK Officially Released the Jersey Numbers of First 20 Players for IPL 2020 and Fans are Already Confused!

"Will Dhoni play for IPL 2020?" this can be labelled as the most asked question in recent times for all the good and bad reasons. Chennai Super Kings has finally cleared the air on all the speculations revolving around Dhoni and IPL by releasing the list of first 20 players' numbers who are going to be part of the franchise for the coming edition.

The numbers are 1, 2, 3, 7, 8, 9, 12, 13, 17, 22, 24, 27, 31, 33, 37, 54, 74, 81, 90 and 99. "It's the 20th and here are the first twenty for 2020," the tweet read. *We are sure that we do not have to answer the above question now, for you would have verified number 7’s presence more than once*

But, wait! Did you notice number 12? Isn’t it the legend Yuvraj Singh’s Number? Who is going to carry it on their back? Yuvraj himself or anyone from the existing squad? Just like you, a lot of questions began flooding our minds. But, since Yuvraj has recently retired from all forms of cricket, it should be another player, most possibly a youngster. Until official confirmation arrives, let’s keep the guessing game on!

CSK Retained MS Dhoni, Ambati Rayudu, KM Asif, Deepak Chahar, Dwayne Bravo, Faf du Plessis, Harbhajan Singh, Imran Tahir, Jagadeesan Narayan, Karn Sharma, Kedar Jadhav, Lungisani Ngigi, Mitchell Santner, Monu Singh, Murali Vijay, Ravindra Jadeja, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Shane Watson, Shardul Thakur and Suresh Raina.
