5 Players Who Can Replace Deepak Chahar In Chennai Super Kings (CSK) For IPL 2022
Ishant Sharma
The veteran Indian pacer went unsold in the mega auction. None of the ten franchises was interested in picking Ishant. He is ageing 33 and is not a part of the Indian Test squad for the Sri Lanka series at home. Having played a lot under MS Dhoni, Ishant might be a good replacement for CSK. So far, in his IPL career, the tall and lanky pacer has picked up 72 wickets from 93 games.
