Top 8 English players in IPL 2018

#5 Sam Billings (Chennai Super Kings)

Billings is a versatile player, can bat anywhere in the order and he might even open for CSK this year.

He has an advantage over Shane Watson in terms of being able to bat against spin and he’s also younger than many of his other high-profile teammates.

With MS Dhoni part of the squad, it’s unlikely that he’ll keep the wickets, but he could prove to be a shrewd buy for Stephen Fleming and the Super Kings.
