2018 IPL Auction: 3 positions which CSK need to fill

#2) Fast bowling All-Rounder

Candidates: Dwayne Bravo, Ben Stokes

CSK and Dwayne Bravo is a love story which neither of them would love to break

All-rounders are the most important part of any T20 team and CSK would definitely look to buy one in the upcoming auction. The options in the all-rounders list are comparatively lesser and one would expect to see immense competition for the ones on that list.

Dwayne Bravo and Ben Stokes are two players who may well end up being amongst the highest earners of this year's IPL and CSK would definitely want to go for them.

Bravo is an option which is very difficult for CSK to resist as he has been a huge asset for the team in the previous editions. The Caribbean has played with CSK and is a crowd favourite and his rapport with Dhoni is palpable and his experience of bowling in the Chepauk wicket makes him an asset which CSK would love to have.

Stokes, on the other hand, was one of the best performers of last year's IPL and is sure to trigger a bidding war in the auction. Most probably, the Englishman will attract a higher bid than Bravo, therefore, using RTM for the latter will be a better option.

Best Pick: Dwayne Bravo
