1. Taskin Ahmed
Taskin Ahmed has been a proven performer for Bangladesh in the white-ball circuit. He has featured in 52 ODIs and picked up 69 wickets at an economy of 5.64. When it comes to the T20Is, the ace pacer has bagged 36 wickets in 46 T20Is at an economy of 7.79.
The Dhaka-born was quite phenomenal at the recently culminated T20 World Cup 2022 and wreaked havoc with the ball. Taskin featured in five matches and took eight wickets at an economy of 7.27, which includes a sensational four-wicket haul in the encounter against the Netherlands.
When Bangladesh locked horns with India in the 35th match of the T20 extravaganza in Australia, the 27-year-old was at his consistent best and gave away just 15 runs in his full quota of four overs.
Taskin has been quite lethal with the new ball in the international arena and will be a like-for-like replacement for Chahar if the latter is unavailable. Therefore, the Chennai franchise might target the Bangladesh pacer at the forthcoming auction.
