IPL Countdown: All-time Chennai Superkings XI

Bowlers:

Ravichandran Ashwin

Ravichandran Ashwin

R Ashwin was one of the many players who came into the reckoning after a successful IPL stint. The second highest wicket-taker for CSK, Ashwin was the star of the 2010 and 2011 victorious campaigns and was an integral part of the team for 7 years.

Ashwin came into the limelight with the magic he spun with his carrom ball. He was the most economical bowler in the IPL until Narine arrived. The Tamil Nadu spinner, who was bought back by the franchise in 2011 and retained in 2014, has 90 wickets for CSK at an economy of 6.45 and average of 24.22.

Doug Bollinger

Doug Bollinger

Doug Bollinger is a name which is probably more popular in Chennai than in Australia, thanks to his stint with the Superkings. The three-year stint with CSK saw Bollinger emerge as the bowling spearhead of the yellow brigade.

Playing a key role in the victorious campaigns of 2010 and 2011, Bollinger picked 37 wickets from 27 games for CSK at an economy of 7.21 and a strike rate of 15.5. Among all the foreign pacers used by CSK till date, Bollinger stands out because of his excellence both with the new ball as well as at the death.

Mohit Sharma

Mohit Sharma

Out of the many Indian medium pacers who rose to the top with CSK, Mohit Sharma was the one who could make it big at the international stage as well. Impressing one and all with his clever bowling in 2013, Mohit was amongst the wickets more often than not.

His stint with CSK made his death bowling a lot more improved and made him a more matured bowler. With 57 wickets from 47 games, Mohit stands fifth in the list of wicket-takers for CSK.

Mohit's variations including the slower bouncers and outside off yorkers made him an effective death bowler and he will be looking forward to rejoin the yellow brigade in the upcoming edition and take the mettle of death bowling from Bravo, who has not been at his best at the death in recent past.
