The upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League is all set to kick off in a couple of months. The five-time champion Chennai Super Kings will enter the tournament as the defending champions. They beat the Gujarat Titans in the last season to clinch a record-equaling five titles.
MS Dhoni will be leading the team, and he is among the oldest players in the IPL 2024. However, CSK, which is known for backing veterans, will see some youngsters in the coming season. They bought some good players at the auction. The current CSK squad has some teenagers as well. Here we will talk about the three youngest CSK players in the IPL 2024.
3. Nishant Sindhu (19 years 254 days)
Born on April 9, 2004, Nishant Sandhu hails from Haryana and is a hard-hitting all-rounder. He is currently 19 years and 305 days old and will be playing for CSK. With the availability of Ravindra Jadeja, Moeen Ali, Rachin Ravindra, and Mitchell Santner, it will be tough for him to get a game. But who knows? He might make his IPL debut. But Nishant is also a spin-all-rounder who has played 15 T20s and scored 231 runs with 11 wickets.
2. Shaik Rasheed (19 years 137 days)
Shaik Rasheed made headlines when the Chennai franchise went after him at the IPL 2024 auction and signed him. Rasheed, born on September 24, 2004 in Guntur, Karnataka, is 19 years and 137 days old at the moment. He bats in the middle order and is known as a finisher. He has played 10 T20s and scored 296 runs at an average of 42.28 with a strike rate of 137.67. Rasheed has already scored a century in the shorter format.
1. Aravelly Avanish (18 years 251 days)
Not just in CSK; actually, Aravelly Avanish is one of the youngest players in the whole IPL 2024. Born on June 2, 2005, in Hyderabad, Avanish is currently part of the Indian U19 team that is playing in the ongoing U19 World Cup 2024 in South Africa. He is currently 18 years and 251 days old and is a pretty good batter who keeps wickets as well. CSK doesn’t have a young keeper option, so if they can groom him, he can become a valuable asset.
