IPL auction 2020: 3 Indian pacers Chennai Super Kings might target

#3 Roosh Kalaria

Roosh Kalaria

Roosh Kalaria, who was a part of the Indian Colts' victorious 2012 ICC Under 19 World Cup winning squad, is another left-arm seamer who could help CSK's cause in IPL 2020.

Although Kalaria is yet to play in the IPL, he could earn a lucrative contract this time given that he has impressed greatly in the Indian domestic circuit of late. Kalaria emerged as Gujarat's highest wicket-taker (fourth overall) at the 2019-20 Vijay Hazare Trophy with 21 wickets. A consistent performer in domestic tournaments, the Gujarat pacer has 133 first-class and 66 List A wickets to his name.

His economy of 6.24 proves his credentials in the shorter format, where he has taken 33 wickets so far. In the recently concluded 2019-20 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, Kalaria took eight wickets at an economy of just 4.29.

With left-arm Indian seamers being a rarity, the 26-year-old deserves an IPL contract to prove himself on the world stage. CSK's search for an economical pacer could come to an end if they sign Kalaria at the 2020 auction.
