Chennai Super Kings, after a disappointing finish in the last IPL season, are reportedly making efforts to improve their team for the upcoming season. The team is rumored to be in talks with Sanju Samson to join the team for the next season. If Samson joins, he is likely to play under the captaincy of Ruturaj Gaikwad. However, this move will result in leaving out a few players from CSK. Social media is speculating about Samson’s potential arrival. Here are some reasons why CSK might end up at the bottom of the points table.
CSK’s current squad has a decent team. Though they failed to qualify for the playoffs, they have a balanced team. The primary opening pair of Rachin Ravindra and Devon Conway has a good record in T20 cricket. If Samson joins the team, he might replace a player. The top order is anchored by Ruturaj Gaikwad. CSK also has players like Ayush Mhatre and Urvil Patel in the middle order, who keep the scoreboard running. In the middle order, the Proteas Dewald Brevis and Shivam Dube have proved themselves reliable. So, inducting Samson into CSK might cost them the title next year as well.
