3 reasons why CSK should target Washington Sundar in IPL Auction

Chennai Super Kings might be eyeing Washington Sundar for the upcoming edition of the IPL.

IPL Auction: Washington Sundar’s ability to contribute with both bat and ball makes him an invaluable asset in the T20 format. His knack for stabilizing the innings in the middle order, coupled with his off-spin bowling, is a perfect blend for any successful player in the 20-over format. Despite his long-time participation in the IPL, Washington Sundar has not shown his best in the cash-rich league so far. However, looking at his current form, several teams will be eyeing the all-rounder in the IPL mega auction, and one of them is likely to be Chennai. On that note, let us check out 3 reasons why CSK can bid aggressively for Washington Sundar in IPL 2025 auction.

Reasons why CSK can target Sundar in IPL 2025 Auction

Spin bowling strength

Chennai Super Kings has traditionally relied on spin bowling. Sundar’s off-spin bowling could add depth to their bowling attack. His recent performances, including a seven-wicket haul in his Test return, highlight his effectiveness with the ball. The slow track of Chepauk will also prove to be effective for Sundar.

Experience and reliability

With experience in various formats and a proven track record, Sundar brings reliability to the team. His calm demeanor and ability to perform under pressure can be a significant advantage for CSK in high-stakes matches, who are known for their consistent performance in knockout games of the IPL.

Versatility

Washington Sundar is a genuine all-rounder who can contribute both with the bat and ball. His ability to bowl economical overs and chip in with crucial runs makes him a valuable asset for any team. With questions being raised around Ravindra Jadeja’s retention, Sundar can be an ideal replacement for Jadeja if the Yellow Army camp decides not to retain the Southpaw for the upcoming edition of the IPL.
