Possible choice - Harbhajan Singh

Once called the Terminator of the Indian bowling lineup, Harbhajan Singh (Bhajji) was known for his abilities to wreck the opposition batting. In IPL too, Bhajji is one of the most experienced players and over the years has been entrusted with the task of bowling in the powerplay, delivering every single time.

He has a deceptive doosra that can trick any top order batsman. While bowling with a brand new ball that does not turn much, it becomes essential for the spinner to vary the pace and Bhajji is an expert at it.

Over the years, while playing for India, he has established a great rapport with the CSK skipper MS Dhoni who loves employing a spinner in the powerplay. Thus, Harbhajan Singh could be the ideal candidate for CSK.
