The Hundred 2024 saw Stephen Fleming’s team reach the finals. The CSK coach will also target a few players from the competition for CSK. On that note, here, we take a look at the list of three top performers in the Hundred 2024 whom CSK can target for IPL 2025.
1) Sam Curran (if released by Punjab Kings)
Many CSK fans wanted Sam Curran to be included in the team when he was available in the auctions a few seasons ago. However, the price-tag did not allow CSK to go for him. Nevertheless, they can still get back their old cricketer provided Punjab Kings do not retain him.
Sam Curran proved his all-round value in the Hundred 2024. He did well with the ball at difficult situations and also stepped up with the bat. CSK would love to have an all-rounder like him in the team, especially considering their affinity for these type of players.
2) Ben Duckett
Ben Duckett is one of the top performers in the Hundred 2024 whom CSK can target for IPL 2025. Although his game against spin poses some questions, Ben would still be a good acquisition for any side in the IPL.
He can bat in the middle-order, can keep wickets and is decently experienced, as well. Plus, he usually plays with a hight strike-rate and this can be a good combination for a T20 cricketer. CSK needs to replace Daryl Mitchell and Ben could be a decent choice to begin with.
3) Adam Milne
With 12 wickets at an economy of 7.60, Milne was really good in the tournament. It needs to be noted that he was once selected by CSK. However, there was an injury and he had to miss the competition.
Nevertheless, he can still play for CSK. Stephen Fleming might consider hiring the pacer again to CSK. With his pace, height and variations, he can be a very good backup for Matheesha Pathirana.
