5. Piyush Chawla

Piyush Chawla in the auction seemed an interesting pick for the already so-called elderly aged Chennai Super Kings. Later, the team selectors in a press conference said that the captain MS Dhoni was behind this, calling it as he knew how to use this veteran spinner, and he sure was right.

The leg spinner has been bowling break-through overs for the team whenever the ball is handed to him. The first ball he bowled in the last match against KXIP, he took the wicket of in-form batsman Mayank Agarwal, providing the team with a crucial wicket by breaking the opening partnership.
