CSK will get a new opening batsman in IPL 2024, he has created a stir in T20 cricket.
IPL 2024 : Now only a few days are left for the new season of the Indian Premier League to start. On March 22, there is a match between CSK captained by MS Dhoni and RCB captained by Faf Duplessis. Before this, some good news is not coming for the teams. Chennai Super Kings opener Devon Conway has been ruled out of the first phase of IPL due to injury. Going forward, it is possible that he may be out of the entire season. In such a situation, CSK may get a new opening batsman in the upcoming IPL.
Conway has played for CSK for 2 years
CSK had signed New Zealand opener Dvon Conway for Rs 1 crore before IPL 2022. He performed brilliantly that year. After this, he remained with Chennai Super Kings also in the year 2023. This time also he scored a lot of runs for his team. Ruturaj Gaikwad was opening from one side and Conway from the other side for CSK. This time also there was a possibility that the same pair would take the field, but now with Conway out due to injury, it is expected that Rachin Ravindra can be given a chance as an opening batsman along with Ruturaj.
Ravindra was bought by CSK for only Rs 1 crore 80 lakh.
Rachin Ravindra came to the IPL auction for the first time. It was expected that big bets would be placed on them. His base price was only Rs 50 lakh. When his name was called in the auction, Delhi Capitals and CSK started bidding to get him in their fold. But Delhi soon retreated and after this the Punjab Kings team came into the field. However, the bid did not go much and Chennai Super Kings bought him for Rs 1 crore 80 lakh. The kind of player Rachin Ravindra is, it seems that Ravindra has come at a very low price.
Rachin Ravindra’s performance in T20 International has been like this
Ravindra will be seen playing in IPL for the first time. Talking about his T20 International career, he has 214 runs in his name in 20 matches. His average is 16.46, while he is batting at an average of 133.75. He has managed to score a half-century. Not only this, he has the ability to do wonders with batting as well as bowling. He has bowled for his team in 13 innings of these 20 matches. In this he has 11 wickets in his name. As long as Devon Conway was in the team, Rachin was not able to replace Ravindra in the playing eleven. Because only four foreign players play in the last 11 players. But now with Conway out, it is almost certain that Ravindra will fit into the playing eleven. It remains to be seen how they perform in their first season of IPL.
