IPL 2023: 5 all-rounders CSK can target in trading window to replace Ravindra Jadeja
The trading window would be a great opportunity for CSK to fill the spot that will be vacated by Jadeja.
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.
