IPL 2020 - Rating the all-rounders of all 8 teams

#1 Chennai Super Kings

Sam Curran was a steal buy for CSK in the auction.

All-rounders: Dwayne Bravo, Piyush Chawla, Sam Curran, Suresh Raina, Ravindra Jadeja, Kedar Jadhav, Mitchell Santner, Karn Sharma, Harbhajan Singh, and Shane Watson

Chennai Super Kings, a franchise which has remained consistent with its core, only made a couple of notable purchases in all-rounders with Sam Curran (₹5.5 crores) and Piyush Chawla (₹6.75 crores) in the auction. They have aligned match-winners in all departments and look one of the most balanced sides with their all-rounders for the upcoming edition.

The English prodigy Sam Curran has shown his ability to deliver under pressure with both the bat and ball. Curran has 838 runs at a strike rate of 130.93 with 63 wickets in T20s. He could prove to be CSK's X-factor in the upcoming season. Along with him, the fourth-highest wicket-taker in the IPL, Piyush Chawla with 150 wickets, has been a reputed leg-spinner in the league.

Australian Shane Watson can be a dependable opener for the side, having played with CSK in the past two seasons. Dwayne Bravo can bowl slow balls in the death overs and also strike the ball out of the park in the low-order.

The likes of Suresh Raina, Ravindra Jadeja, and Kedar Jadhav have associated with CSK for a long time. They have made a name for themselves on the national side, with their ability to bat and provide breakthroughs with their spin-attack. They have played a vital role in CSK's success in the IPL.

Experienced veterans Harbhajan Singh and Karn Sharma will be valuable to the side in the spin-friendly pitch of Chepauk. The New Zealander Mitchell Santner can also bowl slow left-arm orthodox and bat down the line-up as a foreign substitute.

Chennai Super Kings have the most exceptional all-rounders in comparison to all eight teams in the competition. The formidable line-up has become even better with the addition of Sam Curran in the side. With the amount of experience and youth, CSK looks one of the most balanced teams heading into next season.
