5 Players CSK should target for IPL 2021

3. Mitchell Starc

Mitchell Starc is one of the biggest names in the international circuit today. It is a name that still strikes fear into the minds of modern-day batsmen. His in-swinging yorkers are still unplayable and he is the go-to man for Aaron Finch in times of crisis. The tall-lanky bowler is an asset for any team he plays and his performances in the last two World Cups are enough to prove that he is one of the greatest fast bowlers in the modern era.

A team like CSK have always looked to strengthen their spin department. But this year, their strategy backfired because of a change in playing conditions. The management should look forward to including a pace bowler who can bowl over 150 kmph regularly and the best name available for them is Mitchell Starc. The Australian bowler has an average of 19.49 in T20Is and an impressive economy rate of 6.91.

Hence, CSK should be keen on including Starc in their team as he can produce that in swinging yorker! With sheer pace, he can trouble the batsmen and Starc is one of the best tailenders in the game. When required, he can hit some lusty blows and with the ball, he can produce early wickets. Imagine Deepak Chahar and Starc bowling the opening spell!
