CSK has only one overseas slot open. Hence, they could even sign an overseas cricketer as the replacement for the injured Ruturaj Gaikwad. Here, we take a look at the list of three foreign players whom CSK can sign as Ruturaj Gaikwad’s replacement for IPL 2025.
1) Dewald Brevis
The South African youngster will be the perfect signing for the side. He is in good touch and would be an instant upgrade in the middle order.
Especially for the future, Brevis will be a fine investment. Since he is also a good player of spin, it will be a good move by CSK if it happens.
2) Ben Duckett can be Ruturaj Gaikwad’s replacement
The Englishman might not be of great use in the current campaign. However, he can be a real deal for the future at the top of the order.
Ben can give the quick starts that CSK is lacking now. Therefore, he can replace one of Devon Conway or Rachin Ravindra for the future.
3) Shai Hope
CSK need to have an eye on the future of MS Dhoni, as well. Hence, the franchise must plan to bring in a new wicket-keeper to the side.
In this regard, Shai Hope is a good choice for the side. He is in form and could be an attacking option in the middle order.
