2. Shahbaz Ahmed
The Chennai franchise could look to rope in Shahbaz Ahmed in the upcoming trading window. The all-rounder has shown a lot of promise in the T20 circuit of late and was recently drafted into the Indian squad for the Zimbabwe tour.
The 27-year-old offers the same skillset as Jadeja and he could be one of the long-term prospects for the Men in Yellow. Shahbaz’s recent team Royal Challengers Banglore (RCB), on the other hand, can agree to trade him for the veteran Indian all-rounder. The Haryana-born had a decent outing with the bat last season scoring 219 runs at a strike rate of 120.9 but he had a poor season with the ball. He took four wickets in 16 outings at an economy of 9.60.
RCB would have expected more from the Bengal cricketer and Jadeja could be a great fit in the lower order. He is a proven finisher and a gun all-rounder. Moreover, the veteran player’s inclusion will lessen the dependency on Dinesh Karthik to finish games.
