4 Players CSK should target for IPL 2019

#2 Rishabh Pant

Arguably the best batsman of the 2018 edition of the IPL.

Matches: 38

Runs: 1248

Strike Rate: 162.71

At just 20 years old, Rishabh Pant is surely the next big thing in Indian Cricket. He came into limelight with his stellar batting performances in the Under-19 World Cup, and then there was no looking back for the young bloke.

MS Dhoni, even at 36, is still going strong in the shortest format of the game, but the management might be looking for some backup options. Who better than the Daredevils' wicketkeeper? IPL 2018 was the career-defining tournament was Pant, as he smashed 684 runs in 14 matches with a brilliant strike rate of 170, which even earned him the Emerging Player Award.

CSK has a plethora of players above the age of 30. With age comes injuries, and picking up Rishabh Pant may be a jackpot for the Superkings.
