5 match-winners CSK should target if the mega-auction happens in IPL 2021

While the Indian Premier League (IPL) has stepped into the fifth week ever since its commencement, the tournament has united the cricket lovers all across the globe. Without a shade of doubt, the cash-rich league has rendered the optimum display of cricketing prowess. With matches going down to wires, viewers are bound to stick to their television sets until the heart-pounding last-ball drama unfolds in front of their sentimental eyes.

However, the emotionally-charged yellow fans have found it precarious to have the last laugh owing to poor rendition by the Dhoni-brigade of late. After a robust triumph against Mumbai Indians in match number one, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have been struggling to cross the line of victory. The Men in Yellow have lost a majority of their matches threatening their berth in playoffs. Hence, the lions are positioned seventh in the lower half of the points table.

The limited resources in the team are thought to be one of the significant reasons for their consecutive defeats. On that note, this article attempts to deconstruct the names of five explosive match-winners which may remain on their cards if the mega auction is conducted for the 14th edition. Thus, the team management needs to get back on their drawing board to chip in biggies under the yellowhammer.

So, without any further ado, let’s peek into the list of players CSK should go for:

1. Suryakumar Yadav

The Mumbai-based cricketer has proven his mettle time and again in the domestic circuit with his magnificent willow-work. The right-handed batsman hogged the headlines in the 2015 IPL. The prodigy representing KKR hammered a breathtaking 20-ball 46 with five sixes against Mumbai Indians that overshadowed Rohit Sharma’s classy 98.

The vintage match-winner is plying his trade for Mumbai Indians of late. The blue outfit inked a whopping IPL 3.2 crores deal with the batsman. Repaying the trust shown by the captain in style, the 30-year-old has amassed over 200 runs in the ongoing season. Therefore, it goes without saying that Suryakumar is a go-to person for any team he plays for.

Considering his spectacular exhibition with the bat, CSK must mull to bag the extravagant player into the squad. As it appears that the squad is deprived of power-hitters currently. Moreover, his presence in the team can add extra weightage to the batting department in the upcoming season. Hence, Yadav’s flair knocks can topple any opposition team.
