[Saba Sports News] Chennai Super Kings enter the final stretch of the season missing Mustafizur Rahman, who has returned to the Bangladesh national team for their series against Zimbabwe after sitting out the first game. Rahman had an impressive season with CSK, notably starting with a four-wicket haul in the IPL 2024 opener against Royal Challengers Bangalore. With crucial games ahead to secure a top-four spot, CSK must find suitable replacements. Here are three potential candidates:
Ashton Agar: The experienced Australian seeks match practice ahead of the T20 World Cup. Agar’s T20 expertise, coupled with his left-arm spin and ability to bowl in powerplay overs, makes him a compelling option.
Tim Southee: Despite his success with New Zealand, Southee has yet to excel in the IPL. However, his past stint with CSK and skills in both new ball and death bowling could make him a valuable addition.
Tymal Mills: Known for his pace and deceptive slower balls, Mills has been an underrated T20 bowler. Despite a lukewarm previous IPL season with Mumbai Indians, his knack for taking wickets could make him an attractive prospect for CSK.
