He's right, their first choice would be Gaikwad-Faf combination. Gaikwad was pretty good buy for them last year and he also scored fair amount of runs with the average of 50 plus. Guess they bought Moeen Ali recently at very high price so i think he would get first chance over anyone else.
Gaikwod is pretty young and talented batsman, he also showed what he is capable in the last few matches so he is an long term investment for sure. And for the 4 overseas player I guess Faf,Curran, Bravo and Moeen Ali will be getting more chances because they already have Deepak chahar , Shardul Takur and Bravo combo even Sam curran can bowl so as far as I observed Dhoni will take more All rounders who are effective in Indian pitches but the drawback is this team is perfect for Chennai but now there is no home ground for any team.
