Five reasons why Chennai Super Kings can be the champions of IPL 2018

4) The inconsistent but effective bowling department

The bowling department of CSK can cause serious problems to the opposition on their day

Compared to their counterparts, CSK's bowling performances have been below par this season with no bowler actually getting into the rhythm and picking up wickets in regular succession.

However, they do have a really talented pool of players who can do some serious damage to the opposition batting lineups.

Shardul Thakur is the leading wicket-taker of the team with 8 wickets in 7 matches. The bowlers have constantly been shuffled by the management and each of them has contributed to the team's successful run till now.

Harbhajan Singh, Ravindra Jadeja, Imran Tahir and Karn Sharma take up the spinners quota. Shane Watson and Dwayne Bravo are excellent allrounders. Pacers like Lungi Ngidi, David Willey, and Deepak Chahar can make batsmen sweat on their day.
