1. Chennai Super Kings
Chennai Super Kings are known to be a franchise that values experience a lot. Also, the Chennai skipper MS Dhoni likes to have many all-round options at his disposal when his side takes the field. And Shakib fits both these criteria. He is a veteran of 382 T20 games and his all-round credentials are second to none. Thereby, CSK could be the franchise who guns for him at the mini-auction 2023.
With the home-away format expected to be reintroduced from the next season, this would mean Chennai would be playing half of their games in Chepauk which is known to assist spinners more. And Shakib could be quite handy in those conditions.
The Bangladesh skipper, having played most of his cricket in the Indian subcontinent, would thrive in spin-friendly conditions in both departments, be it bat or ball. Also, with Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja’s exit a possibility, Shakib could be a great candidate to fill his void.
