The IPL is entering its second decade and the most exciting news so far has been the return of Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals, after a suspension of two years.

CSK, in particular, was missed by many fans across the country in the past two seasons. The two-time IPL champions have been one of the most successful teams in IPL history; the MS Dhoni-led side captured the imagination of fans all over the world.

During the retention period, CSK decided to bring MS Dhoni, Suresh Raina and Ravindra Jadeja back into the fold. A move, which was extremely well received by their fans.

With 1,122 players from different countries registering themselves for the grand auction to follow, here is a list of 5 foreign players who are the ideal choices for CSK to grab at the auction:


#5 Dwayne Bravo

Bravo is a great asset in this format of the game

It was surprising to see that Chennai Super Kings opted to retain Ravindra Jadeja ahead of a proven performer like Dwayne Bravo. In the IPL, he has picked up 122 wickets in 106 matches at a strike rate of 16.5. He is also an exceptional batsman, well known for his hard-hitting abilities.

Bravo possesses a deadly slower yorker, which has bamboozled many a batsman, which dips in at the last moment after initially appearing to be a juicy full toss.

Bravo is also an electric fielder and is the complete package. His all-round abilities suggest that CSK should lock him up once again using the RTM option.
