KKR and CSK did not enjoy a great outing in IPL 2022, finishing seventh and ninth respectively with Mumbai Indians finishing last. Kolkata Knight Riders beat Chennai Super Kings in the only game they locked horns in IPL 2022.
KKR made 21 changes throughout the season and did not find a proper playing combination across the 14 games, CSK, on the other hand, lacked the match-winning ability in the games that they lost.
Ahead of the next season, both teams will need to rebuild their team. It might very well happen that the management from both teams might target players from each other as they look to rebuild a new nucleus. Let’s take a look at three Chennai Super Kings players that Kolkata Knight Riders might target in IPL 2023 auction.
IPL 2023 Auction: 3 Chennai Super Kings (CSK) Players Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) Can Target
Robin Uthappa
Robin Uthappa was released by KKR ahead of IPL 2020. CSK then picked him up where he flourished. The mini-action allows KKR to buy him back. He can bat anywhere in the top four and is a sage keeper behind the stumps. Uthappa has kept wickets for KKR previously as well. The management will hope that he gets his form back for KKR if they manage to buy him.
