Even veteran spinner Ravichandran Ashwin’s much -awaited home return failed to achieve the expected results, unable to give the leading match -winning performances.Time to inject some fresh blood?Amidst the brilliant performance of its experienced core, CSK has moved to a new crop of players, youth Ayush, Devald BravisAnd Uril Patel, all were signed as replacement.

We want the answer for the next year – who can bat, which can bowl on the basis of circumstances where you can bowl. You can get out sometime, but you have to return yourself and play your shots. These are the players who are now part of the squad;Now, even if they are published by their long -standing preference, someone is estimated.
