Defending champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will come to the IPL 2024 auction with the intention of further strengthening their squad. The team had a great lineup last season, but a few roles need to be filled. With a limited purse at the mini-auction, these are the players CSK will look to buy in the IPL 2024 auction:
| Player | Country | Role |
|---|---|---|
| Azmatullah Omarzai | Afghanistan | Batting All-rounder |
| Gerald Coetzee | South Africa | Pace Bowler |
| Sadeera Samarawickrama | Sri Lanka | Wicketkeeper Batter |
| Pat Cummins | Australia | Bowling All-rounder |
Azmatullah Omarzai/Pat Cummins for Ben Stokes
After picking up England Test skipper Ben Stokes for a whopping INR 16.25 crore, CSK might think to drop the injury-prone all-rounder. The southpaw managed to score just 15 runs in 2 matches and bowl a single over in the last season.
Azmatullah Omarzai took the world by storm in the 2023 World Cup, scoring over 350 runs and picking up 7 wickets in 9 matches. Pat Cummins, on the other hand, has already done well in the IPL over 6 seasons. Picking up 45 wickets in 42 matches while striking the ball at over 150.
