Chennai Super Kings (CSK) full squad details

Chennai Super Kings had a lot to do in the auction for IPL 2021. They had a forgettable tournament last
year. For the first time in the history of Indian Premier League, MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings ended
the tournament at the 7th position. In the IPL auction, therefore, they had to buy some key players for a
strong comeback.

It was interesting to see Chennai Super Kings going for Cheteshwar Pujara. Not a lot would have thought
of Pujara making it to an IPL side. While they went for some base price buys, they stacked up two
players for a total of 16.25 crore. The challenge for Chennai Super Kings was to get some effective and
young players on board to strengthen the core balance. K Gowtham and Moeen Ali can serve them as
the all-rounders. However, they were in need of a back-up opener.
