3 potential candidates who could have been chosen by CSK instead of Dewald Brevis

1. Prithvi Shaw

Termed as India's future batting superstar a few years back, Prithvi Shaw now finds himself struggling to get back into the IPL. The 25-year-old went unsold in the IPL auction, but many believed that he would be one of the first injury replacements picked. However, he is still waiting for a call-up with the IPL reaching the halfway stage.

Shaw can be an asset at the top of the order for CSK. The Chennai-based franchise has struggled to score freely inside the powerplay. The Mumbai batter is known for being a destructive force in the powerplay overs, and this could have made him a perfect fit at the top of the order. An in-form Shaw could have been a major boon for the MS Dhoni-led side. The right-handed batter, who strikes at 147.47 in the IPL, might not have had a memorable domestic season, but he could have thrived for CSK as an opening batter.
