Head coach Owen Coyle has named a strong squad for the Kalinga Super Cup, led by attacker Connor Shields, and standout Indian performers Irfan Yadwad and Jiteshwor Singh, among others. Wilmar Jordan Gil and Daniel Chima Chukwu lead the attack, with the former aiming to become the outright top-scorer of the Super Cup. With eight combined goals across multiple editions, Jordan, the leading cup scorer in 2023, is a goal shy of Sunil Chhetri at the top of the all-time standings.

Chennaiyin head into the tournament on the back of a convincing 5-2 win over Jamshedpur FC in their final league game in March.
