IPL 2022: 3 Players For Whom Chennai Super Kings Might Use Their Right To Match (RTM) Card

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have got a lot of superstars in their squad who have performed really well — and it will be a tough call for them while using the RTM cards if the mega auction takes place. After a poor season in the last IPL, they managed to rectify the errors and excelled really well under the leadership of MS Dhoni again in this IPL until it was suspended.

Chennai might be looking to keep the core moving forward but the age factor is a big problem and they have to look ahead for the future by encouraging more youngsters. There has been a lot of doubts over Suresh Raina and MS Dhoni’s future in the team and retirement is on the cards at any time. Here are 3 players for whom Chennai Super Kings might use their right to match card.

3 Players For Whom Chennai Super Kings Might Use Their Right To Match Card:

Suresh Raina:

Suresh Raina has fewer chances of being retained among the big names but he can certainly be a good prospect for getting back in the team through the Right to Match card. He has been one of the most consistent performers for Chennai Super Kings over the years and he deserves to be in the squad again.

He did not have the best of IPL this season scoring 123 runs from seven games and he was pushed one place below to accommodate Moeen Ali at three. He scored a valiant fifty in the first game against Delhi and has struggled after that. But he is a seasoned campaigner and provides a lot to the team in all three departments. CSK should try getting him back through the RTM card.

Deepak Chahar:

Deepak Chahar has been one of the most reliable bowlers for CSK and has not let them down on most occasions. He swings the new ball really well and is very good in the powerplay. He doesn’t give away many boundaries and is also in the Indian squad for the T20 series against Sri Lanka.

Deepak Chahar picked up 8 wickets in the 7 matches he played this year and he had two four-wicket hauls in the process. He is difficult to face when the conditions suit him and will be in the eyes of Chennai Super Kings to be brought back through the Right to Match card if the mega auction takes place next year.

Moeen Ali:

Moeen Ali was picked up for a hefty amount in the IPL Auction 2021 and he proved his worth as an all-rounder in this IPL edition. He was brilliant at three for CSK and he was given the licence to smack it from the word go. He scored 206 runs in the 6 games he played.

Apart from his batting, he picked up 5 wickets at an excellent economy rate. He was used as the sixth bowler mostly by MS Dhoni and he had a great impact on the team’s performance this year. He can bowl quality off-spin and bat anywhere in the order which makes him a huge player for the franchise. He will certainly be picked by Chennai Super Kings through the RTM card for whatever it may cost.
