5 Players who could open the batting for CSK
4) Shane Watson
The Australian all-rounder, Shane Watson, is a great option for the opening slot. He is an explosive batsman who plays both fast and spin bowling equally well.
He has played numerous T-20 leagues all over the world and has a lot of experience.
Watson had a great time in BBL this year where he scored 331 runs averaging 36.78 at a strike rate of 139.08. He was picked by CSK for Rs 4 crore. Watson has opened the innings several times for the Rajasthan Royals in the IPL.
If CSK have to chose between du Plessis and Watson, they would be tempted to go in with Watson as he could use his cutters to good effect on that slow and sluggish Chepauk track. Also, the fact that he has recently featured in multiple T20 leagues could tilt the tables in his favour.
