Now the name of former Australian cricketer Brad Hogg has also been included in this. Hogg has described veteran players Ambati Rayudu and Robin Uthappa as very important players for Chennai Super Kings.
The Stability for CSK in the Middle Order:-
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) had filled the slots of all 25 players in the organized 2-day mega auction in Bengaluru. The franchise had retained captain MS Dhoni, Ravindra Jadeja, Ruturaj Gaikwad, and Moeen Ali ahead of the mega auction.
After this, in the auction, the team bought Rayudu for Rs 6.75 crore and Uthappa for his base price of Rs 2 crore. Former Australia spinner Hogg said both the senior players will provide stability in the middle order.
Rayudu and Uthappa will prove to be the X-factor for Chennai Super Kings in the middle order. They can take the pressure off the lower order.
The Bet on the best Players in the Franchise:-
Hogg said that I am looking at Devon Conway as an opener. I think he can play a big role and play long innings like Faf du Plessis used to do.
Chennai has bet on really good players in the auction. They have a very good and balanced team.
