IPL Auction 2018: 5 alternatives for Ravichandran Ashwin CSK could target

#1 Washington Sundar (Base Price: Rs. 1.5 Crore)

Washington Sundar is expected to fetch a sizeable bid in the auction

Who better than the city's next generation star to replace Ashwin? Washington Sundar's meteoric rise has been nothing short of inspirational. Sundar replaced Ashwin last season in the Pune squad and his match-winning spell in the qualifier still remains fresh in the mind of every cricket lover.

A formidable new ball option, Sundar's economical spells would create the necessary pressure and provide the opportunity to make in-roads into the opposition batting line up. Sundar is quite adept with the bat as well and can provide much-needed impetus lower down the order.

He is expected to attract a lot of suitors and CSK would definitely be one among them.
