The strength of the Chennai Super Kings side is the balance that they have maintained while picking up the players. They have the likes of MS Dhoni, Harbhajan Singh, Dwayne Bravo, Suresh Raina, Faf du Plessis, Ravindra Jadeja and all are no stranger to the shortest format. CSK would be disappointed to lose Ashwin to Kings XI Punjab but the team had a likewise replacement when they got the services of Harbhajan Singh for Rs 2 crore.
Harbhajan, who played for Mumbai Indians in the last ten seasons, brings a lot to the table. He is a bowler who can contain the opposition’s batting line up and can effectively operate in the powerplay overs. Moreover, it’s not just his bowling that CSK would be offered with but also the kind of experience he brings in. Bhajji was a part of Mumbai Indians squads when they were crowned champions on all the three occasions. Apart from his experience and bowling, Harbhajan is a handy batsman who can be used for accelerating the run-rate whenever required.
