IPL Auction 2018: 5 foreign players Chennai Super Kings should have on their radar

#3 Faf du Plessis

The South African has been one of CSK's most consistent performers over the years

Du Plessis, the South African skipper, would be an amazing batsman to have in the middle order for any franchise. With Raina and Du Plessis in the middle order and Dhoni playing the finishing hand, the CSK batting lineup would look splendid, to say the least.

If he plays at Number 3 or 4, Du Plessis will get a reasonable number of balls to make a significant impact in the game. This will help him assert his dominance in the game. Above all, he is a tremendous fielder on the field.

The right-hander has scored 1300 runs in 53 matches with a strike rate of 127+ in the tournament. CSK will be a dominant team with the willow if they are able to get him in the auction.
