IPL Auction 2020: 3 teams that could target Tom Banton this year

#1 Chennai Super Kings

Chennai Super Kings have released 6 players ahead of IPL 2020

Chennai Super Kings have always believed in retaining the core of the team. The side, which plays under the leadership of MS Dhoni, has released a mere six players ahead of the upcoming edition of the IPL.

CSK have released the fewest number of players after Sunrisers Hyderabad. With INR 14.6 Cr. left in their purse, the Yellow Army would like to go after a big player in the auction.

Chennai should look to sign an upcoming talent on 19 December, because a lot of their players are over 30 years old.

The Chennai team management had approached Somerset to inquire about Tom Banton’s availability for the 13th edition of the IPL. Since they have shown an interest in acquiring Banton's services, they should try their best to get him on-board.

As Ambati Rayudu has been away from competitive cricket for the past few months, CSK can try the opening pair of Shane Watson and Banton. Both these batsmen play an aggressive brand of cricket, and could get the team off to flying starts on a regular basis.

Apart from that, Banton can also be the backup wicket-keeper for MS Dhoni.
