#2 Robin Uthappa
The most experienced name present on this list is the former Kolkata Knight Riders star, Robin Uthappa. The right-handed batsman had surprisingly been released by the Shahrukh Khan-owned franchise prior the 2020 season. Since he is a former Orange Cap winner, Robin could be on the wishlist of quite a few franchises.
The former Indian batsman is a 12-year veteran in the T20 format and he has played 256 T20 matches in his career, aggregating 6,504 runs at an average of 28.90. Though Uthappa has never scored a hundred in the shortest form of the game, he has 37 half-centuries to his name which shows the immense talent that he possesses.

The Coorg-born player is still 34 years old, and still has quite a bit of cricket left in him. Thus, CSK should invest in him because not only can he play the role of a top order batsman but he can also keep the wickets for the Chennai-based franchise in case MS Dhoni wishes to rest himself.
