1) Daryl Mitchell

Daryl Mitchell’s ability to play spin well was one of the impressive factors. CSK needed a strong option to replace Ambati Rayudu and they zeroed in on Daryl. They went as far as INR 14 Crores for the Kiwi cricketer. The player also offers a bit of medium-pace, which could be used on the slow pitches at Chennai.

2) Mustafizur Rahman

Mustafizur Rahman is one of the former Rajasthan Royals players whom CSK signed in IPL 2024 Auctions. Although he had a bright start to his IPL career, the Bangladesh pacer lost his touch in the IPL. Nevertheless, he is still trusted because of his unique ability to bowl cutters and slower balls consistently.

CSK tried Alazarri Joseph but they could not get him. Hence, they settled with Mustafizur at his base price. It is a very intelligent signing as on the wickets at Chennai, Fizz would be extremely effective. Matheesha Pathirana might need a backup and Mustafizur fits the bill perfectly, while also giving a left-arm pace option for the deathovers to the management.
