IPL 2018: 5 players who can replace Deepak Chahar for CSK's next few games

#2 Karn Sharma

Karn Sharma

When young Indian spinner Karn Sharma was picked up for 5 crores at the auctions, most people would have thought that he would be a regular fixture in the CSK setup going forwards.

However, that hasn't been the case as Karn has made just 2 appearances for Dhoni's side this season, taking 3 wickets in the process.

Karn put in some stellar performances for Mumbai Indians in IPL 2017, scalping 13 wickets from 9 matches at an economy of just under 7 but was not retained by them.

Karn could form the perfect spin trio alongside Tahir and Harbhajan. Throw in Jadeja and you have a perfect quartet of spinners to exploit the slow, low pitches present in few of the IPL grounds.
