CSK can target these 5 players to replace Shane Watson

Shane Watson has cleared the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) management that he won't participate in IPL from next season. Subsequently, that stops a fruitful coordinated effort between the player and the team.

While the franchise decreased his bowling duties impressively, they asked to continue only in the batting area. The move delivered a few profits, as Watson dominated numerous matches for CSK.

Nonetheless, it will be a difficult task for CSK to substitute him for the coming seasons. The better abroad batsmen are as of now in various groups, and it will include a savvy move if Watson must be replaced.

On that note, here are five choices whom we figure CSK can begin examining.

1. Dawid Malan

In 16 T20Is up until this point, Dawid Malan has scored 682 runs at an average of 48.7 and a strike-rate of 146.7. He is additionally ICC's No.1 T20 batsman right now. With so much going his direction, it was astonishing that no IPL group perplexed by wounds picked him as a substitution. In any case, the English batsman will be in great demand for sure in the next season. For CSK, he ought to be the No.1 target on the mind. A spectacular timer of the ball, if Raina doesn't play for CSK once more, Malan will likewise turn into a vital left-hander in the top-order.

2. Martin Guptill

Martin Guptill has, shockingly, got not many chances in IPL. Notwithstanding, on the off chance that he needs to succeed, there can't be a franchise better than CSK to do it in. Likewise, if CSK can back Guptill like the manner in which they did to Watson, they can anticipate better execution by the Kiwi. At long last, an opening combination of Faf du Plessis and Martin Guptill will be a bad dream for the other teams.

3. Colin Munro

The 33-year-old has been an IPL flop. However, you could contend that he wasn't given enough opportunities. All things considered, Munro is as yet outstanding amongst other T20 batsmen in the game. CSK likes to have multi-useful players, and Munro is one such player. He can bowl a piece and is likewise a good fielder. Whenever given some genuine chances, he could really come out great in the opposition.

4. Shai Hope

With an average of more than 50 in ODI cricket and a gradually improving one in T20Is, Shai Hope is somebody the enthusiasts of the game must be amped up for. CSK could really put down a wager on him to come out great for them. Truth is told, up until this point, Hope has excelled on Indian pitches. He is additionally a wicket-keeper, something that could support the franchise if MSD misses a game or two.

5. Jason Roy

We feel that Jason Roy will be the most reasonable swap for Shane Watson at CSK. Roy is an unstable batsman who can take the game away from the opponents in only a couple of balls. He has involvement with IPL, and could likewise come cheap at the auction. The Englishman is 30-years of age and has a lot of IPL-years left in him to have an effect.
