IPL 2019: 5 Players CSK could've released ahead of the auction
Releasing these players would've given the 2018 Champions a chance to build a team for the future.
5. Imran Tahir
The leg-spinners have generally played a crucial role for their teams in the T20s. But Imran Tahir could make the most of this chance after rocking the stage for the now defunct Rising Pune Supergiant in 2017 with 18 wickets in 12 matches. In the previous season, the 39-year-old played only six matches in the yellow jersey and scalped as many wickets conceding 9.09 runs per over which is too expensive.
With the age not on his side, the South African leggie might not be the man to invest in going forward and instead, the CSK management could have saved the purse for the auction. Also, Karn Sharma is in the side who can play most of the matches being the economical bowler of the two. Retaining Tahir might turn out to be the blunder from the franchise and it remains to be seen how many matches he plays under MS Dhoni next year.
