IPL 2020: 5 major steal deals from the auction

#3 Josh Hazlewood (CSK)

Josh Hazlewood

Country - Australia

Type - Fast Bowler

Base Price - ₹2 crores

Sold at - ₹2 crores

One of Australia's top 3 fast bowlers, Josh Hazlewood is the sort of pacer which Chennai Super Kings missed desperately in IPL 2019. CSK has no reliable option for the death overs with Dwayne Bravo losing his magic and the Indian pacers not delivering the goods. In such a scenario, the fast bowling duo of Lungi Ngidi and Josh Hazlewood could become potentially become the best fast bowling pair of IPL 2020.

MS Dhoni loves playing spinners in his squad and it would be interesting to see how he uses the services of Hazlewood and how he fits the team dynamics. Josh Hazlewood could become CSK's potential weapon on hard surfaces. Only time will tell if he will be able to leave a mark at this year's IPL
