10 Players you never knew were part of Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in IPL
There have been times when CSK have bought players and haven’t used them well enough and one of the main reasons for that is the core of the side.
7. Dirk Nannes – 2013
Dirk Nannes is forever remembered not for his contribution on the field but for his injury in 2011. The Australian fast bowler was bought for a price of $650,000 in the 2011 IPL auction. However, he played just two games and was ruled out of the entire season due to a side strain. It was Chris Gayle who replaced him and the rest his history.
However, Nannes has played 29 IPL games and it was largely in 2009 and 2010 seasons. He played 22 games for Delhi and took 22 wickets before he played for RCB. But in 2013, he was picked by Chennai Super Kings (CSK) for a sum of $600,000.
The Melbourne-born fast bowler played five games under MS Dhoni that season. He picked up five wickets and conceded runs at an economy of 7.97. That was the last time he ever featured in the IPL.
