#1 Hashim Amla

One of South Africa's most consistent batsmen, Hashim Amla took the IPL by storm last year as he scored two centuries for the Kings XI Punjab. He was in sensational form throughout the tournament and he was expected to be sold for a high price this year.
Unfortunately, he went unsold, much to the surprise of fans around the world.
With CSK in need of a quality opener, Amla could perfectly fit that role and give them the perfect start to an innings.
He has played just 16 matches in the IPL since 2016 and has scored 577 runs at an average of just below 45 with three half-centuries and two centuries to his name.
