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
3. Faf du Plessis
An orthodox, all conditions technique and a dogged approach at the crease makes him an asset in the age of T20 cricket. Though Faf did not get many outings in the now defunct Rising Pune Supergiants squad, but has performed quite well with the limited opportunities he has got at CSK due to injuries and national team duties in the last couple of years.
The South African has opened in 39 innings for CSK scoring 1257 runs at an average of 34.92 with a SR of 128.92 with his best being 96. His Mzansi Super League record is impressive as well, where he scored 537 runs in 18 matches at an average of 38.35 with an impressive strike-rate of 145.13.
His ability to maneuver the ball against spin at the slow Chennai makes him a good contender for the opening slot. But since CSK has bought two overseas pacers in Hazlewood and Curran, it will be interesting to see the CSK team management’s decision.
