Chennai Super Kings

Ruturaj Gaikwad

The young right-handed batsman has been known for his conventional form of play. He had a commendable domestic season as he ended up as the second-highest run-scorer in the 2019 Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 trophy, by amassing 419 runs in 11 games. With Suresh Raina now out, Ruturaj is being considered to replace the star CSK batsman at No.3.

Mitchell Santner

Micthell Santner is one of the most underrated stars in IPL, but he can be very lethal on dusty pitches in the UAE. Ranked number 6 in ICC T20I Bowler’s Rankings, the left-arm tweaker might well be the luckiest of persons to benefit from the shifting of the IPL from India to the Emirati dunes.

Santner’s prowess with the ball is highly suited to the hot and dusty conditions of the UAE in IPL 2020. He had a bowling average of 17 in the IPL last year and it showed a glimpse of his ability and could well take the cricketing world by storm this time around.
