IPL 2018: Chennai Super Kings squad analysis

#2 All-Rounders

Bravo revolutionized the way Chennai went about their game

Chennai boast of two of the finest all-rounders in limited overs cricket- Shane Watson and Dwayne Bravo. Along with opening the batting, Watson will be expected to roll his arms on occasions. In his prime, Watson opened the batting as well as the bowling with equal efficiency and grace but after Watson’s dismal run in the previous edition of the IPL, all eyes will scrutinize Watson’s every turn out for the Chennai Super Kings. If Watson the all-rounder clicks, a major chunk of CSK’s concerns is neutralized.

West Indian veteran Dwayne Bravo is the master of the slower ball and during the peak of his career revolutionized the way Chennai went about their game (1238 runs and 122 wickets in IPL career). The franchise would hope that Bravo still has that magic left in him and makes it big both with the bat and ball in the upcoming season.

Ravindra Jadeja (1732 runs and 82 wickets in IPL career) is another all-rounder that the franchise would have high hopes on. Along with his spin bowling, Jadeja is also a decent batsman and his contribution with the bat would make things a lot easier for the 2-time champion team.
