IPL 2019: 3 underrated players who can help CSK in retaining the title

3. David Willey

England all-rounder David Willey is a highly regarded T20 player. The left-armer is a skillful new ball bowler with the ability to swing the ball, plus a power hitter lower down the order.

Willey has consistently featured in the Perth Scorchers playing XI in the Big Bash, and has been an impact player for Yorkshire in T20 Blast.

Teams have also used him as an opener, to use his power hitting skills to utilize the field restrictions in the first six overs. If CSK use Willey in the same capacity, then he along with Shane Watson will form an explosive opening pair and can be a nightmare for bowlers.

In the international arena one of Willey's best performances came against West Indies in the 2016 T20 World Cup final where he recorded figures of 3/20, which underlines his big match temperament. If Willey finds a place in the XI, he will add great utility to CSK’s lineup.
