All eyes will be on CSK in the IPL 2023 Auction as they will aim to fill up some vacant spots in their squad. Last year, the Chennai Super Kings did not have the best auction. On top of that, their most expensive signing Deepak Chahar ended up missing the whole season due to injuries.
As a result, CSK will come back wiser at the IPL 2023 Auction. They need replacements for some of their senior players. Also, they need to work on some of their weak points. Here are four foreign players Chennai Super Kings might target.
1. CSK might target Sam Curran at IPL 2023 Auction
Sam Curran was a top performer for the Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2020 and 2021. However, he missed IPL 2022 due to injury issues. He is back for IPL 2023 now, and considering his recent form, it should not be a surprise if Chennai go hard for him.
2. CSK might target Nicholas Pooran at IPL 2023 Auction
Fans who watched the T10 League would have an idea about Nicholas Pooran’s dangerous form. He led the Deccan Gladiators to the championship in Abu Dhabi. Since Pooran can make himself available for the full season, he might be present on CSK’s Wishlist.
3. Joe Root
If Joe Root makes himself available for the upcoming IPL seasons as well, Chennai cannot just target him as a top-order batter but also their future captain. He knows how to lead from the front and is an excellent player of spin.
4. Kane Williamson
Another player for whom CSK can spend big money as a future captain and a reliable top-order batter is Kane Williamson. He had rare off-season in IPL 2022 with SunRisers Hyderabad, but he is a world-class player who can carry the team on his shoulders.
