There isn't much you can add to a team that has just won one of the most heavily contested tournaments in cricket without breaking a sweat. The Chennai Super Kings nearly have the most complete team in the IPL covering all the bases except one and that is of the fast bowling department.

CSK have a very destructive opening pair of Watson with either of Du Plessis or Rayudu, followed by highest run-getter in the IPL Suresh Raina, captain cool MS Dhoni, calm and composed Kedar Jadhav and one of the best all-rounders in T20, Dwayne Bravo. However, their pace bowling arsenal of Deepak Chahar, Shardul Thakur and Lungi Ngidi is something they can't rely upon game after game.

A lot of capped fast bowlers are going under the hammer on 18th December and some that CSK would love to bid on are, Mohammed Shami who we all know can generate insane amounts of pace consistently, Mohit Sharma who has represented CSK in the past and knows the Chepauk pitch like the back of his hand and left arm pacers Barinder Sran and Jaydev Unadkat the type of bowlers Dhoni loves to have around him in matches.
