#1 Eoin Morgan

Eoin Morgan is the captain of the England team in the shorter format of the game and has been credited with the change in fortunes of the England cricket team in ODIs and T20s. The attacking attitude of Morgan has really helped the England team.
Morgan's performance in IPL, though, has been poor. He has scored just 854 runs in 52 matches at a paltry average of 21 and a strike rate of 121. His performance in the IPL has been poor because he has always been the marquee batsman of his IPL teams in the middle order and it has not allowed him to play freely.
Morgan's record in T20 Internationals for England is much better because he has the luxury of quality middle order batsmen in the England team and it allows him to play his game. His role in CSK, if selected, will be similar to his role for the England team and his inclusion would also allow Dhoni to bat higher and control the game better.
