IPL 2020: 3 TNPL Players CSK Might Target in the Auction!

With Kolkata gearing up to host the auction for the next edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL), Chennai Super Kings (CSK) might rope in some potential, high-profile, experienced players. With that said, the Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL) will definitely play a selection factor and a few rockstar performers from the state league will finally don the IPL jersey. Here, we look at the top three players who enjoy a high degree of possibility.

1 – Ganesan Periyasamy

Periyasamy's 5 wickets for 15 runs played a prime role in leading Chepauk Super Gillies to a 12-run victory in this year’s TNPL final. Starting and finishing his spell in spectacular fashion, Periyasamy dismissed batsmen like Narayan Jagadeesan and NS Chaturved for no runs. 

2 - Shahrukh Khan

Relaxed and balanced, Khan has opened the innings for Lyca Kovai Kings with considerable success. His 43-ball 59 on a surface of inconsistent bounce led Kings to a 15-run win against Karaikudi in one of the TNPL games. Sharing his name with Bollywood Super Star, Khan is a safe bet if CSK are looking for a local talent. 

3 – K Vignesh

Vignesh has 71 wickets from 20 matches that include 6 four-wicket hauls and 3 five-wicket hauls in First-Class cricket at an economy of 2.81. In T2OIs, he has picked 15 wickets from 11 matches. He has remained the trump card for Kovai Kings in several tough situations. Considering numbers, Vignesh might grab an eye for all the good reasons.
