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.
4. Shardul Thakur
The Chennai franchise has been quite big on player loyalty and fans have seen the management trying to get back ex-CSK players to their side. Shardul Thakur had been a core member of the franchise until he was bought by Delhi Capitals in this year’s Mega Auction.
Shardul has been a middle-overs enforcer for the Men in Yellow and has provided handy contributions with the bat. The Chennai franchise could likely look to rope in the bowling all-rounder at the expense of Jadeja. The 30-year-old had a mediocre campaign in the 2022 season where he featured in 14 games and took 15 wickets at a high economy of 9.79. With the bat, he scored 120 runs at an economy of 137.93.
The Palghar-born cricketer could not perform as per his standards. They could look to let go of the pacer and rope in Jadeja who could play as a floater and can finish games. This would lessen the burden on a top-heavy DC side. Moreover, the Capitals already have the services of Khaleel Ahmed, Chetan Sakariya, and Kamlesh Nagarkoti in the bowling department so it will be a win-win for both teams.
