8. Deepak Chahar
The fast bowler from Rajasthan will be leading Chennai’s bowling department. The Rajasthan lad has looked extremely comfortable with the ball and can swing the balls both ways. His bowling performance against Bangladesh in the T20 series was class-apart as the bowler took 6 for 7 in a do-or-die match in Nagpur.
MSD will look to use Chahar in the early stages of the game and would like to get the most out of him in the powerplay overs. He took 22 wickets in the last edition of IPL and will like to continue his form and bowl according to the plan.
