5 Players who can open for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in IPL 2020
Chennai Super Kings have always depended on their powerful batting line ups to deliver the goods
2. Murali Vijay
Murali Vijay made his IPL debut in 2009, where he played only four games. However, he was a vital cog in CSK’s successful 2010 where he amassed 458 runs to finish as the second highest run getter for his side. He was the Man of the Match in the 2011 IPL final for his 52 ball 95 which helped his team overcome RCB to clinch the title.
Vijay has been successful at the top scoring 2542 runs at an average of 27.04 with a strike rate of 123.46 with his best being 127.He has 13 half centuries and 2 centuries while batting at the top. He formed a formidable opening partnership with Michael Hussey for the franchise and scored a good chunk of runs till the 2013 season.
Barring a handful of limited overs matches for Tamil Nadu and sporadic appearances in the TNPL, Vijay has mostly been a spectator when it comes to white ball cricket in the last couple of years. He will be hoping to rekindle his lost T20 magic with CSK in the upcoming IPL season. The CSK team management will surely consider him at some point in the tournament.
