IPL 2023: 3 CSK Players to watch out for in upcoming edition

Chennai Super Kings have been one of the most successful teams in the history of the Indian Premier League (IPL) and have grabbed the silverware on four occasions. However, CSK was far from their best in IPL 2022 and finished in the second last position, having won just four out of their 14 matches. 

The Chennai franchise would look to redeem themselves in the upcoming edition of the cash-rich league and clinch the IPL title for the fifth time. As CSK bid to go for glory, there are certain top-drawer players who will be key to their chances in the T20 extravaganza.

Let us look at three CSK Players to watch out for in IPL 2023

3. Deepak Chahar 

Deepak Chahar has been a proven performer in the lucrative T20 tournament. He has made the ball talk at the start of the innings and provided his side with early breakthroughs. The 30-year-old has featured in 63 IPL games and picked up 59 wickets at an economy of 7.8. Also, he is no muck with the bat and played some crucial cameos slotting in lower down the order.

Chahar has been an integral part of the Chennai Super Kings’ bowling set-up since 2018. Thus, they broke their bank to sign him at the IPL 2022 auction and spent an insane sum of INR 14 crore to pick him. However, the investment did not pay dividends as the right-arm pacer was ruled out of the side due to a back injury.

Chahar has been frequently troubled by injuries in the last year or so and has been out of action from international cricket since December. However, he is known to achieve full fitness and will don the CSK jersey in IPL 2023. The ace pacer would look to be at his best and take the marquee tournament by storm with his bowling displays.
