<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/csk-chennai-super-kings/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chennai Super Kings</a> have been one of the dominant teams in the history of the Indian Premier League. In the 13 editions of the lucrative T20 tournament CSK have featured in thus far, they have won the competition four times and have been runners-up five times. However, MS Dhoni &amp; co. were nowhere close to their best in IPL 2022 and finished the league stage at the second last position.

In a bid to vindicate themselves, CSK moved past eight of their players, including Robin Uthappa, who hung his boots from IPL. They went to the IPL 2023 auction with INR 20.45 crore in their kitty. Though, Chennai signed top-drawer cricketers such as Ben Stokes and Kyle Jamieson to upgrade their side, they missed a trick by not adding certain players to their arsenal.

Here are five Players CSK should've picked in the auction but they didn't

Samarth Vyas took the 2022 season of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy by storm with his spectacular performances. The Saurashtra batter took the attack to the opposition right from the get-go and hammered 314 runs in seven games at a stunning strike rate of 177.40.&nbsp;

Samarth displayed his batting might in the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/domestic-cricket/vijay-hazare-trophy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Vijay Hazare Trophy 2022</a> as well. The 27-year-old played a fearless brand of cricket and helped change the course of the game in a course of a few deliveries. He featured in ten matches and aggregated 443 runs at a strike rate of 106.74.&nbsp;

Samarth’s inclusion added firepower to the batting line-up and given Chennai Super Kings had many anchor batters such as Ruturaj Gaikwad, Devon Conway, and Ambati Rayudu in the mix, it would have made sense for CSK to go after the flamboyant batter at the IPL 2023 auction. But CSK did not place any bids for him at the marquee event and Vyas was sold to Sunrisers Hyderabad for INR 20 lakh.

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/i-am-someone-who-would-blindly-trust-mike-hussey-n-jagadeesan-opens-up-on-relationship-with-csk-coach/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Narayan Jagadeesan</a> has been a bankable name in the Indian domestic circuit. The Coimbatore-born has featured in 44 List-A matches and scored 2090 runs at an average of 49.76. When it comes to the shortest format, he has scored 1064 runs in 51 games at a strike rate of 118.61.&nbsp;

Jagadeesan was in his elements in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2022 and dismantled bowling attacks for fun. The wicketkeeper-batter plundered 830 runs in eight games for Tamil Nadu at a strike rate of 125.37, which includes five centuries.

Chennai Super Kings only had Dhoni as their Indian wicketkeeper-batter heading into the IPL 2023 auction. The legendary cricketer is in the twilight of his career and it was anticipated that CSK would leave no stone unturned to re-sign Jagadeesan. Though the Chennai management showed interest in picking him at the auction, they did not raise the paddle after the bid crossed the INR 85 lakh mark. Eventually, KKR grabbed the Coimbatore-born for INR 90 lakh.

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/social-tracker-cricket/played-with-a-bleeding-fingernail-emotional-jaydev-unadkat-relives-first-class-debut-ahead-of-100th-match/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jaydev Unadkat</a> has been a giant of a player in the domestic circuit. First-class cricket has been his happy hunting ground where he has bagged 370 wickets in 99 matches at an average of 22.65. He has done a decent job in the IPL arena too and took 91 wickets in as many games at an economy of 8.79.&nbsp; &nbsp; Unadkat set the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2022 ablaze with his incredible bowling displays. He picked up 19 wickets in 10 matches at an economy of 3.33. Courtesy of the left-arm pacer’s stellar performances, he made a comeback to the Indian Test set-up.

Barring Deepak Chahar, CSK did not have any international quality Indian pacer at their disposal and thus, the four-time IPL champions could have gone after Unadkat, who was in a rich vein of form leading into the 2023 player auction. However, Chennai did not show interest in adding the ace pacer and Jaydev went to Lucknow Super Giants for the 16th IPL edition.

The stocks of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/josh-little-becomes-first-ever-irish-cricketer-to-get-ipl-deal/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joshua Little</a> in the international circuit have been on a meteoric rise of late. The Dublin-born was quite phenomenal in the shortest format in 2022. He played 26 T20Is and picked up 39 wickets at an economy of 7.58, which is quite brilliant given he bowls a lot at the fag end of the innings.

Little also showed his class in the T20 World Cup 2022. The 23-year-old featured in seven matches at the T20 carnival and bagged 11 wickets at an economy of 7.00. He was the chief architect of an epic win against the eventual T20 world champions England, bagging two wickets for 16 runs.

Chennai Super Kings did not have quality death bowlers in the team, having released Dwayne Bravo (retired from IPL) and Chris Jordan ahead of the 2023 player auction. Thus, one thought CSK would add Little to their repertoire to lessen their death-bowling woes but it was not meant to be. It was Gujarat Titans that acquired the services of the Irish pacer for INR 4.4 crore for the upcoming season.

The 33-year-old has been prolific with the bat in the Indian Premier League and amassed 3648 runs in 160 matches at a strike rate of 121.52.

Manish has held the innings together and allowed stroke makers to play with freedom. Also, the ace batter has shown the ability to swiftly switch gears and take top-quality attacks to the cleaners in the IPL arena. Moreover, he has shown the versatility to bat at both the top order and the middle order.

As Chennai Super Kings headed into the IPL 2023 auction, there was a Uthappa-sized void in their batting line-up. The team needed gun Indian batter to fill the same and so, they could have looked at Manish. However, it was only Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bangalore who raised their paddles for signing the Nainital-born. In the end, DC picked him for INR 2.4 crore.
