CSK's 'Thalaiva' - MS Dhoni is back in the side

The second team that will make a comeback in this year's IPL is the CSK. The hashtag #whistlepodu was trending when CSK's 'Thalaiva' - MS Dhoni was retained (as expected). Dhoni's two favourite men - Raina and Jadeja were also retained. CSK fans are ecstatic and are looking forward to the auction day - an opportunity to retain two more players through RTM.

Let us have a look at the possible options -

Dwayne Bravo - CSK's best all-rounder who can bowl those well-disguised slower-yorkers and can bat in the typical Caribbean style - Bravo is worth retaining. He has been one of the biggest contributors to the team's success.

Brendon McCullum - One of the most entertaining batsmen who scored 158* in the first ever IPL T20 - McCullum opened the innings and most of the times provided a flying start to the CSK innings.

Faf du Plessis - South Africa's Test captain - du Plessis is a great middle order batsman who can hold the innings together and then attack in the slog overs. He also possesses great fielding skills.

Note - Ravichandran Ashwin cannot be retained now as the limit for the maximum number of capped Indian players (3) is reached.
