#2 Irfan Pathan

The Saurashtra all-rounder was in the CSK ranks in the 2015 edition of the IPL. Irfan did not get a single game and had to spend the entire season warming the bench. Subsequently, he joined the RPS and Gujarat Lions during CSK's two-year suspension.
Irfan Pathan is up for grabs at the auction again and the CSK should target a quality all-rounder like him. The fact that he is an Indian fast bowler itself adds a lot of value to the table. Irfan can be a great back-up for Dwayne Bravo should the West Indian rockstar miss a few games.
#1 Mohit Sharma

The Haryana fast bowler was in the CSK ranks from 2013 to 2015 edition of the IPL. He was Dhoni's most-trusted bowler in the death overs because of his variations and slower deliveries.
Subsequently, Mohit was drafted into the KXIP squad after his old franchise was handed a two-year suspension. Mohit, now back in the auction pool again, could be grabbing the eyeballs of the CSK owners and is a very good option for the men in yellow.
He has been a regular in the CSK setup since then. He has been MS Dhoni's go-to man in the death overs. Since CSK need an experienced Indian fast-bowler, Mohit is the best bet at the moment. He has played 84 matches picking 90 wickets at an economy rate of 8.4.
