2. Faf Du Plessis
The former South African skipper has been the best player for CSK in this season so far. He has scored 375 runs from 10 games and will be looking to cross the 400-run mark when CSK plays against Mumbai Indians on Friday. Du Plessis will also be an able replacement for MS Dhoni to lead the side.
His experience of leading South Africa in all three formats will come in handy as well. He has looked at ease with the bat at the top of the order, while the rest others have struggled for runs. If he eventually goes onto lead the team, this will be the first time Du Plessis will be leading CSK in his IPL career.
