IPL 2018: 5 players who can replace Mitchell Santner in the CSK squad

#2 David Wiese

David Wiese has had a good time in the IPL in the past

David Wiese was listed in the auction at a base price of Rs 50 Lakh and surprisingly, nobody showed any interest in him. He was a decent performer for the Royal Challengers Bangalore in IPL 2015 and 2016 and was expected to attract the bids from a few franchises this year, however, it didn’t happen and the veteran all-rounder couldn’t find a buyer.

Wiese is again a batting all-rounder who is a lusty hitter of the cricket ball down the order. He has got plenty of experience of playing T20 cricket around the world and is a finisher who can be banked upon at the crunch stage of the innings.

As far as his bowling is concerned, he is not a new ball bowler and ideally, a captain won’t like to use him in the power play. However, he has got variations and can be a good choice to be used in the middle overs especially if the pitch is abrasive and the ball sticks to the surface a little bit. He is surely worth being shortlisted by CSK.
