IPL 2020: Fan Asks CSK to Trade Navdeep Saini with Shardul Thakur, CSK Responds!

Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Chennai Super Kings (CSK) is known for its cheeky social media presence. From giving loving replies to fans' posts to taking a dig at other teams, we have seen it all.

Recently, a fan took to Twitter to ask CSK if they can trade Navdeep Saini with Shardul Thakur. "@ChennaiIPL Try to trade Saini with Shardul. Virat might actually approve that," he wrote. Saini is currently part of Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB).

In response, CSK said Shardul cannot be replaced. "'1' can't replace him," the franchise wrote.

Shared on Tuesday, the tweet has gone down well with fans. While some came in support of Shardul, many expressed their anticipation towards MS Dhoni's comeback. "Saini is still "under age" for @ChennaiIPL," commented one Twitter user. "Missing MSD today," wrote another.

Significantly, Navdeep Saini picked five wickets in the just-concluded T20I series against Sri Lanka and was named "Player of the Series" while Shardul Thakur was awarded "Man of the Match" after the last game for his 2 wickets from 3 overs and 22 runs off 8 balls.

'1' can't replace him.
