IPL 2018: 4 wrong choices of players that could prove costly for franchises

#3 Mitchell Santner

Mitchell Santner is the fifth spinner to be picked by the CSK.

Eyebrows were raised when Mitchell Santner was picked by the Chennai Super Kings at the auction after having the services of 4 quality spinners (Ravindra Jadeja, Harbhajan Singh, Imran Tahir and Karn Sharma) at their disposal.

It is hard to believe Santner will get a game to play in the presence of all these big names. Also, Chennai Super Kings are uncharacteristically fragile in their fast bowling resources. All in all, the pace-spin balance of this side is improper.

A genuine foreign seamer would have been the perfect piece in this puzzle, but not Santner here!
