IPL 2021: Best Predicted Playing XI of Chennai Super Kings (CSK)
CSK picked six players in the IPL 2021 auction.
7. Sam Curran
Sam Curran was one of the most influential performers for the Chennai Super Kings last year. The English all-rounder was bought in by the Punjab franchise for INR 7.2 crore. However, lack of opportunities meant that he was released from the squad. Then, the CSK management offered him INR 5.5 crore and the rest is history for Curran!
In a season where most of the Super Kings members failed, Curran stood up and played exceptionally well. Of the 14 matches he played, Curran scored 186 runs and took 13 wickets. While bowling during the powerplay overs, he managed to put the batsmen under pressure. Apart from that, Curran is an excellent fielder and this helps him to cement his place in the squad.
Curran is a future core member of the Chennai Super Kings. His performance against Mumbai Indians showcases his talent to bat during difficult conditions. He improved his bowling drastically in 2020. And the best bowling figures of 4/11 showcases that he is a match-winner with the ball too! Therefore, he is the first typical all-rounder in this list as he can open the inning for CSK too.
