IPL 2020: Team-wise one player who can opt for mid-season transfer

7) Karn Sharma – Chennai Super Kings

Alas! the day has come when the Chennai Super Kings are languishing at the bottom of the points table. It is true that they are missing some of their key players, but the team is also to be blamed for playing poor cricket. For starters, they have been guessing conditions too much instead of focusing their on-field skills. Nevertheless, they can still bounce back and make it to the playoffs if they play to their potential.

Their biggest concern is the batting, as most of their batsmen look rusty due to a lengthy break. Even the bowlers have played a part in their downfall, as they have been inconsistent in their trade. However, they are getting into their groove, and MS Dhoni will be happy to see it. Once they get their combination right, MSD will not change the playing XI for the rest of the season as they cannot afford more experimentation. Under such circumstances, a couple of players, including Karn Sharma, will fail to get to look in.

The spinner has played a total of 7 games in the last two seasons. From that, he needs to understand that he is a reserve option for the CSK. So if he wants to spend more time on the field, then he can opt for a mid-season transfer. Karn can be a valuable asset for his former team, Sunrisers Hyderabad. At the moment, Sunrisers are playing with only 4 genuine bowling options, and that can go wrong at any time. Sharma has played for them in the past, and he might find a second wind with them.
