3. Ambati Rayudu
Ambati Rayudu like Watson was central to CSK’s success in 2018. He scored 602 runs that year, which was the best of his IPL career. This year, he has scored 250 runs from eight games. He missed a few matches unfortunately due to injury and has lost his touch since his return.
He is another option for CSK to captain the side in case MS Dhoni opts to sit out for the remaining games. Like Du Plessis, Rayudu will lead the team for the first time, if he is given the role of captaincy in the remaining games.
