Chennai Super Kings (CSK) predicted playing XI for their first game in IPL 2020
As soon as clearance is obtained from the Indian Government regarding moving IPL overseas for the current edition, the preparations are expected to get underway as quickly as possible.
9. Deepak Chahar
In the last year, Chahar has established himself as India’s go-to bowler in the T20 format. He became the first Indian bowler to grab a T20I hat-trick and in the same match achieved the best bowling figures in the history of T20I cricket when he scalped 6 wickets for 7 runs against Bangladesh. His exceptional skills with the new ball make him an incredible option to open the bowling.
He is expected to spearhead the pace attack of CSK and to be assisted by Shardul Thakur and Dwayne Bravo. He can also bat a little bit down the order and score a few useful runs. In his 2 years playing for CSK, the pacer has eventually become an integral part of their regular setup.
In 34 IPL matches, he has scalped 33 wickets at an average of 26.52 and a strike rate of 20.85. He has an economy rate of 7.6 with the best bowling figures of 3/15.
