IPL 2018 auction: Top 3 bargains for Chennai Super Kings

#2 Imran Tahir (₹1 Crore – Base Price)

Imran Tahir is the current World No. 1 bowler in ODIs

When most of the South African players were purchased at eye-popping bids, CSK managed to steal the top-ranked ODI bowler at its base price in the auction.

The leggie has picked up 47 wickets in 32 IPL matches with an average of 21.11 in his short IPL career. In the last season, Tahir proved his knack by picking up 18 wickets in 12 matches playing for the now-defunct Rising Pune Supergiant.

Tahir’s googly has been his biggest weapon in the limited over game. The hardworking 38-year-old has left no stone unturned to match the fitness level of the younger players of this generation (showcased by his signature celebrations which are longer than most fast-bowlers' run-ups).

Clearly, the leggie would like to continue his international form in the IPL as well.
