IPL 2019: 3 key overseas players for Chennai Super Kings

#1 Dwayne Bravo

Bravo won purple cap in 2013 and 2015

The 35-year-old Dwayne Bravo announced his retirement from international cricket in 2018, but he continues to remain a formidable presence in domestic T20 leagues around the world.

Bravo is one of the cleverest death over specialists around. He is also a powerful hitter who bats in the lower middle order.

Bravo is undoubtedly the most reliable all-rounder for CSK. He has won many matches for CSK single-handedly, with both bat and ball.

He has been a part of the Chennai Super Kings since 2011, although he represented Gujarat Lions in 2016. He won the Purple Cap in 2013 and 2015.

Bravo has 136 wickets from 122 IPL matches and has scored 1379 runs while averaging 23.77 at a strike rate of 128.39.

In the recently-concluded Big Bash league, he had an average outing with just 15 wickets from 14 matches. He also scored 142 runs with the bat.

He is expected to bat at No: 7 for CSK and to bowl in the middle and death.
