IPL 2018: 3 reasons why the Chennai Super Kings will win the IPL

#2 Quality all-rounders

Shane Watson, Dwayne Bravo and Ravindra Jadeja are key to this Chennai side

All-rounders are vital in the IPL. By having a team full of quality all-rounders, it allows you to have a longer batting line-up and provides more bowling options. This means that your batting is strengthened while your bowling is given extra support. The Chennai Super Kings have some of the world's best all-rounders in their midst.

Australian Shane Watson and West Indian Dwayne Bravo could be key in the competition. Watson could potentially open the batting, as well as bowl four overs, while Bravo will bat in the middle order and bowl at the death. These two all-rounders have proven their worth time and time again in limited overs cricket, Watson in the Big Bash League recently and Bravo has been threatening in every T20 league around the world.

In addition to these two, Indian star Ravindra Jadeja will do a similar job to Bravo. Jadeja is lethal in the subcontinent and combines economical bowling with explosive batting - a very useful skill indeed. Between these three players alone, CSK have three very dangerous batsmen and twelve overs of bowling accounted for. This makes it clear just how useful they are and CSK will be able to pack their side full of batsmen as a result.
