IPL History: All-time XI of Chennai Super Kings

Fast bowlers: Ashish Nehra and Mohit Sharma

Ashish Nehra has been phenomenal during his time at Chennai.

The pacers spot was difficult to fill as there were quite a few good fast bowlers who have played for the Chennai side. One has to zero in on Ashish Nehra and Mohit Sharma

Ashish Nehra has been phenomenal during his time at Chennai. In just 25 games, he has taken 40 wickets at a fabulous average of 18.60 and an impressive economy of 7.75 runs per over

Doug Bollinger is one notable omission to this side. He has 55 wickets in 41 games at an incredible average of 19.78.

The only reason Bollinger misses out is to maintain the quota of four foreigners in the squad. Bollinger plays in the XI if Murali Vijay plays in place of Hayden at the top.

For number 11, we have the Indian bowler, Mohit Sharma. Mohit has been exceptional for CSK from the years 2013 to 2015. Sharma is the 4th highest wicket-taker for the Chennai side and in the 57 games, he has taken a total of 68 wickets at a healthy average of 22 and economy of fewer than 8 runs per over.

Final XI:

Mike Hussey (F), Matthew Hayden (F), Suresh Raina, Subramaniam Badrinath, MS Dhoni (C/WK), Dwayne Bravo (F), Albie Morkel (F), Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Ashish Nehra, Mohit Sharma
