IPL 2023: 5 Teams that can target Narayan Jagadeesan in auction
Narayan Jagadeesan became the first batter in history to score five consecutive List-A centuries.
1. Chennai Super Kings
Chennai Super Kings were far from their best in the 15th edition of the lucrative T20 tournament. The Chennai team struggled to get their act together from the first game itself and finished in the second-last position, with just four wins under their belt. Robin Uthappa was one of the bright spots for the team as the veteran batter aggregated 230 runs in 12 games at a strike rate of 134.50.
With Uthappa announcing retirement from all forms of Indian cricket, CSK will have a big hole in their top order and the team management shall go hunting for a solid Indian batter into the forthcoming IPL auction. The Chennai franchise could even consider reinvesting in Jagadeesan to bolster their batting lineup.
The Chennai franchise released the Tamil Nadu given he was not able to make a mark with his performances in the 2022 season. But as Jagadeesan is in pristine touch, it would not be a surprise if CSK bid for him at the auction.
Moreover, with Dhoni’s IPL retirement a possibility post the 16th IPL edition, the 26-year-old could be an ideal fit to fill his shoes as a wicketkeeper. Jagadeesan has a lot of experience in keeping in spinning tracks which will prove to be useful in M. A. Chidambaram Stadium, which is CSK’s home ground.
