The four-time champion Chennai Super Kings (CSK) released a number of players during the retention window, which caused them to rearrange their team in preparation for the IPL 2023 auction.
Dwayne Bravo, who had long been a valuable member of the Chennai Super Kings, was let go by the Yellow Army. The West Indies all-rounder played well in IPL 2022, taking 16 wickets in just 10 games. However, he was not scoring runs with the bat and finished the competition with only 23 runs. Ahead of the mini-auction, they also released Chris Jordan, Adam Milne, and Hari Nishaanth in addition to Bravo.
However, the core of the Chennai Super Kings—MS Dhoni, Ravindra Jadeja, and Moeen Ali—have retained, and they will aim to fill any gaps in their squad during the IPL 2023 auction. Know the 3 players that CSK will target in the upcoming IPL auction.
KS Bharat
Prior to the IPL 2023 auction, Delhi Capitals released KS Bharat from their squad. One of CSK’s retained players, Ravindra Jadeja, recently invited KS Bharat to join the team after the latter chimed in with two yellow heart emoticons on Instagram.
This may actually happen. The Super Kings would be looking to acquire a dependable wicketkeeper and a middle-order batter given that MS Dhoni will announce his retirement following the 2023 IPL season, and KS Bharat may be the best option in such a situation.
Sam Curran
In IPL 2020 and 2021, Sam Curran participated for Chennai Super Kings. Curran scored 242 runs and took 22 wickets in 23 games for the team over the past two years. The England all-rounder has frequently played with the national squad despite missing the IPL 2022 due to injury.
Chennai Super Kings have a spot vacant for an international fast bowler who can bowl well in death overs going into the IPL 2023 auction. Sam Curran, in contrast, ticks all the boxes in the auction with certainty because he genuinely fits the bill.
Litton Das
The opening batsman for Bangladesh has a slim possibility of being one of the IPL’s unexpected selections. Except for Shakib Al Hasan, no other player has participated in the IPL on a regular basis. Das is one of the players that have the potential to get a lot of interest during the auction. Under MS Dhoni’s guidance, the management can get the best performance out of him.
He may serve as the team’s backup keeper. The cricketing world grabbed notice of him after his knock of 60 against India. His run-out ended up being the game’s pivotal moment.
