2. Saim Ayub
Another batter who has been on the rise and has made a name for himself while representing Peshawar Zalmi in his home nation, Saim Ayub has got the game to take risks and play an aggressive brand of cricket in the powerplay phase upfront. Given that CSK are still dealing with finding the right approach to play fearlessly in the powerplay, his all-around-the-wicket ability makes him just the ideal candidate to replace Ruturaj Gaikwad.
Quite interestingly, another factor which goes in his favour is the fact that CSK love grooming new blood. Hence, someone like Ayub can be a long-term future investment for the Chennai-based franchise.
