3 players who Chennai Super Kings can use as Impact Player in IPL 2024

Chennai Super Kings won their 5th IPL title by defeating the defending champions Gujarat Titans in the final at the Narendra Modi Stadium. MS Dhoni as the captain used his resources very tactfully, especially the impact players. Impact Player rule has had a significant impact on the league and in this article, we will take a look at 3 players who can be used as impact players by Chennai Super Kings.

1.  Shivam Dube

The hard-hitting all-rounder from Mumbai was frequently used as an impact player in the last season. The left-hander played in the middle order and delivered some vital batting performances including an unbeaten quick cameo in the final. Dube provides depth in the batting order and his ability to take on spin bowlers makes him a preferred option as an impact player. Chennai plays a large chunk of the season at the Chepauk Stadium which assists the spinners and a player like Shivam Dube comes in handy in those circumstances.

2. Matheesha Pathirana

The slingy Sri Lankan fast bowler Matheesha Pathirana was also among those players who were used as impact players by Chennai Super Kings. He was employed very cleverly by MS Dhoni who mostly used him in death overs where the young pacer excels. Pathirana grew over the course of last season and was a crucial cog in the wheel of CSK’s glorious campaign last season. The former Indian captain might entrust the fast bowler with a similar role in the upcoming season as well.

3. Mustafizur Rahman

Chennai Super Kings bought the left-arm fast bowler from Bangladesh, Mustafizur Rahman, in the auction. He is a perfect buy for a side like Chennai whose home ground is Chepauk Stadium. The track at Chennai behaves slow and low which can give an edge to bowlers like Mustafizur who likes to grip the ball. He makes use of cutters really well and the left-arm bowler can be seen doing exactly what Dwayne Bravo used to do for Chennai.
