5 players CSK need to sign to retain their IPL title in 2019

#1 Jonny Bairstow

Perhaps, the most in-form player in coloured clothing in the world right now, Jonny Bairstow cannot help but score runs against the white ball. It was hence a surprise that he was not picked up this year, but CSK might well go for him next season as he has given enough proof of his credentials.

He can open the batting and then if need be can slot down lower down the order to provide the finishing touch as well. With Dhoni having a dodgy back, he can well take the gloves if required.
