IPL Auction 2020: 3 players who can replace Sam Billings at Chennai Super Kings

#2 Brandon King

Brandon King

Brandon King is an explosive right-handed opening wicketkeeper-batsman who has scored 763 runs in 30 T20 matches. Although his full potential has not yet been displayed on the international scene, King made a name for himself during the 2019 Caribbean Premier League.

In that tournament, the 24-year-old was second to none in terms of run-scoring, with 496 runs in 12 matches at an average of 55.11. King also notched up the highest individual score in CPL history (132* runs from 72 balls).

West Indies players have always made a positive impact on IPL teams. Even in the Super Kings squad, players like Dwayne Smith and Dwayne Bravo have made crucial contributions in the past. An opener like King could be a similar game-changer for the team.

As Shane Watson and Faf du Plessis are aging, CSK can use King to lighten their workload. If the player can replicate his CPL form in the IPL, then CSK would have a formidable overseas opener for years to come.
