3 CSK bowlers to watch out for in IPL 2024
These bowlers will have the responsibility of breathing fire into the CSK bowling attack and keeping the opposition in check.
The IPL 2024 will most likely be the final outing of legendary Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain MS Dhoni. The 42-year-old will be playing his 17th straight season of the Indian Premier League and expects the CSK players to give him the perfect send-off. That means CSK defending their title which they won in IPL 2023.
The Chennai Super Kings' batting unit looks excellent after the IPL 2024 auction. But when it comes to the bowling unit, there were some restrictions in IPL 2023 for MS Dhoni with a few key bowlers out injured and out of form. But in the upcoming IPL season, Dhoni will have his full bouquet of bowlers and much more to choose from as Shardul Thakur and Mustafizur Rahman have also joined the franchise.
Here are the top three Chennai Super Kings bowlers to watch out for in IPL 2024:
3. Maheesh Theekshana
Star Sri Lankan spinner Maheesh Theekshana has been a blessing in disguise for Chennai Super Kings (CSK). He was bought in IPL 2022 auction for INR 70 lakhs. This was despite CSK having spinners like Moeen Ali, Mitchell Santner and Ravindra Jadeja to boast of. However, Theekshana’s fastish finger spin brought a new dimension to the CSK bowling unit.
MS Dhoni smartly used Theekshana with both the new ball and even in death overs and the Sri Lankan spinners shined in both situations. He picked 12 and 11 wickets respectively in IPL 2022 and 2023. And his overall economy is just 7.77 with the best bowling of 4/33. Expect him to shine more in IPL 2024 as he is Dhoni’s go-to man for wickets.
