IPL 2023 Auction: 3 Players If Retained By Chennai Super Kings (CSK) Can Cause Much Damage Than Good
Updated - 30 Oct 2022, 06:48 PM
In what was a controversy-filled IPL 2022 season for Chennai Super Kings, the 4-time IPL champions failed to reach the playoffs for only the second time in their history. Ravindra Jadeja’s captaincy reign lasted only 8 matches before MS Dhoni took back the duties. CSK finished with only 4 wins in 14 matches, 9th at the points table, ahead of the Mumbai Indians only on net run rate.
The Chennai-based franchise will look to bounce back – like they always had – come the IPL 2023. For that, they will have to build the squad at the auction, which will take place in mid-December.
IPL 2023 Auction: 3 Players If Retained By Chennai Super Kings (CSK) Can Cause Much Damage Than Good
Chris Jordan
Chris Jordan was brought by CSK for 3.6 crores with a lot of hopes to give them assurance in the death overs as Dwayne Bravo is aging and had retired from international cricket. However, Jordan flattered to deceive: in 4 matches he picked only 2 wickets and leaked at more than 10 runs an over; his economy rose to 14.27 in the death overs.
Adam Milne
Adam Milne is renowned for his high pace and has been shown interest by the likes of MI and CSK. However, the New Zealand quick is injured frequently. CSK had roped him in for 1.9 crores, but he got injured in his first match of the season itself and was ruled out of the tournament.
He also missed the following Hundred tournament due to an injury and hasn’t played a single competitive match after the IPL 2022. CSK suffered because of injury absentees last season and might be a risk to their bowling attack further.
Mitchell Santner
The CSK management failed to make effective use of Mitchell Santner last season. They tried almost everything with him but couldn’t give him one role consistently. He walked out to bat at number 3 or number 4 in the initial few games. Later on, he was asked to bat lower down. When Moeen Ali was available, Santner was dropped. In the last game of the season, however, Santner got a chance. If he is not adding value to the Chennai Super Kings it is about time that the team must let him walk away.
