IPL 2019: 3 Players who could ramp up the youth factor at CSK

#2 Rajneesh Gurbani

Rajneesh Gurbani has been one of the best domestic bowlers in recent times

Vidharba's 25-year-old Rajneesh Gurbani is one of the players who is expected to wear India colors next year. That is courtesy to his excellent performances in previous Ranji season. He topped the domestic bowling charts last season and he is currently part of the India A squad.

CSK have Deepak Chahar and Shardul Thakur as the Indian bowling options and Gurbani could be a good addition to the bowling line-up. He is young and one of the best pacers in the country. CSK should go for him if they have to build a strong bowling line-up next year.

#1 Axar Patel

Axar Patel could go for big bucks in the auction

The only possible reason for Axar Patel's release by KXIP could be his high price tag. However, he could trigger a bidding war in the upcoming auctions.

CSK have two similar players in Ravindra Jadeja and Mitchell Santner. However, Axar Patel is young and is a proven quantity in the IPL. Bhajji and Karn Sharma do not form a great spin partnership and Axar's inclusion might give more options to MS.

Axar Patel can be used as a floater in the batting department and could change a game in the matter of a few balls. He could be a wily customer with his spin bowling and is excellent on the field. Axar can be a good investment in keeping the future in mind and CSK might even spend their entire purse on this player.
