IPL 2018: 4 reasons why Chennai Super Kings can win the title

#3 Plenty of options

The specialty of Chennai Super Kings is that they not only have many options on the bench but they also have options in the playing XI. MS Dhoni has at least 7 bowling options at his disposal in every match. In the recent match against Delhi Daredevils, they had Karn Sharma in their playing XI but he did not bowl a single over, such is the depth in their side.

They have many like-for-like replacements in the squad. Karn Sharma can come into the side if they want to rest Imran Tahir. Murali Vijay or Rayudu can open the innings if they want another overseas player in place of Faf. They also have David Willey waiting for a chance and can be used in favorable conditions.
