Chennai Super Kings&#8217; (CSK) vice-captain Suresh Raina&#8217;s departure from the 13th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL), slated to begin on September 19 across three venues namely Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah, raised a lot of eyebrows in the cricket world.

After 13 members of the CSK contingent, including two players namely Deepak Chahar and Ruturaj Gaikwad, tested positive for the novel coronavirus, Raina packed his bags and returned back to India citing personal reasons. It was a massive blow for the three-time champion Super Kings as Raina not only formed an integral part of team&#8217;s batting line-up but also essayed the role of vice-captain and captain in case MS Dhoni was unavailable.

Though CSK have not yet named a replacement for the 33-year-old southpaw, the team will have to decide on a suitable vice-captain who has experience and ability to lead the team if such a situation arises.

Here’s a list of 3 potential vice-captaincy options for CSK in IPL 2020: &#8211;

The West Indies superstar can emerge as an appropriate vice-captain for the Yellow Army. Dwayne Bravo has the experience of leading West Indies which can come in handy if he needs to lead CSK in IPL 2020. Bravo captained West Indies in one Test and seven ODI’s before permanently taking charge in February 2013.

He won 16 ODIs in 36 games and also led West Indies in six T20I, winning three. The all-rounder was sacked from his position as the captain in late 2014 owing to a fallout with the West Indies Cricket Board.

The 36-year-old&#8217;s association with Chennai Super Kings has been long standing. He joined CSK in 2011 and has been a regular feature in the team’s playing XI since then. Over the years, the Trinidadian cricketer has become one of the main faces of the franchise along with captain <a href="https://www.facebook.com/crictracker/photos/a.601832999847425/3847882348575791" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>MS Dhoni</strong></a> and Suresh Raina.

If we count on experience, there is no one as capable as Faf du Plessis to essay the role of the vice-captain of Chennai Super Kings in the 2020 edition of the Indian Premier League. The association of MS Dhoni and Faf du Plessis will be something to watch out as the captain and vice-captain respectively.

Du Plessis&#8217; records in leading his home country <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/crciket-south-africa-confirms-two-covid-19-positive-cases-from-the-national-team/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>South Africa</strong></a> in limited-overs format have been incredible. The 36-year-old was appointed as South Africa&#8217;s full-time T20I captain in February 2013, before he took over the Test captaincy from AB de Villiers in 2016. In September 2017 he was named the ODI captain. Under him, the Proteas made the semi-finals of the ICC Men&#8217;s T20 World Cup in 2014.

The cricketer stepped down from captaincy in February 2020. Overall he has captained the Proteas team in 36 Tests, 39 ODIs and 40 T20Is, of which South Africa won 18, 28 and 25 respectively. Talking about his association with CSK, the cricketer may not have been a regular starter but has always played vital roles for the team in times of crisis.

Unlike Dwayne Bravo and Faf du Plessis, Indian off-spinner Harbhajan Singh has no experience of leading a side. However, the team can look at this veteran cricketer if they wish to go for an Indian option as their vice-captain. Among the Indian players in CSK contingent, Harbhajan is the most renowned one.

The specialist spin bowler is backed by enough international experience under his belt. He has represented India in 103 Tests, 236 ODIs and 28 T20 Internationals. Harbhajan can be classified as a true match-winner as he not only causes damage with the ball but can also occasionally get into the skin of the opposition with his big hitting at the end.

The 40-year-old joined Yellow Army in 2018 after Mumbai Indians released him ending their decade long association. Harbhajan has proved to be a valuable player for CSK and the authorities can look at him for the position of vice-captain.

3 vice-captaincy options for CSK in IPL 2020
