Instead of breaking our heads trying to get hardik pandya for finisher role

michael bracewell is perfect and very csk coded player,very unassuming,utility with bat and ball,can hit big sixes and is a very wily offspin bowler

and its worth sacrificing akeal for the important finisher role and he can give 2-3 overs

by 4 will be bracewell overton brevis and noor/ellis

and then we can clear out purse and look for indian spinner and also indian no.5 ,if we release karthik/veer/henry

we are releasing all the nz quota players like henry ,foulkes ,we get money from that

my team in the event that ayush is injured is

samson rutu brevis dube no.5 no.6 (auction buys ,maybe kartik for one) overton bracewell ellis,indina spinner ,kambhoj and khaleel/mukesh impact

we can play ghosh for ellis and play noor instead of indina spinner

what you think ?

he good with spin and kind of good with bat too can provide some run

​

CSK are definitely releasing Prashant Veer otherwise they won't have enough funds to make a mark at the auction. They might've wanted to release both Veer and Kartik Sharma and brought them back cheaper if need be, but now with Ayush Mhatre's injury, Kartik they may just persist with, coz he also did fairly well the last time. But they can't have a player who's not a first XI choice (Veer) for 14crs in the squad.

* Ruturaj would be the captian even if Trades happens Ms is clear on Ruturaj

* CSK is going with minimum 30 cr into the auction
