Stephen Fleming led Southern Brave to the finals in the Hundred 2024. Some of his players stepped up and delivered for him. Hence, he could keep in mind some of these names in IPL 2025 Auctions. Here, we take a look at the list of three top Southern Brave performers in Hundred 2024 whom Stephen Fleming could sign for CSK.
1) James Vince
James Vince is an experienced player who has been scoring runs and doing well in various T20 leagues across the globe. However, he is yet to play in the IPL. That said, with his top show in the Hundred 2024, there could be a chance for the Englishman.
He is more of a run accumulator but can change gears quickly. His profile suits CSK very much. At least as a backup overseas batter, he would be a fine option to have in the squad.
2) Akeal Hosein
Akeal Hosein is one of the top Southern Brave performers in Hundred 2024 whom Stephen Fleming could sign for CSK. Chennai Super Kings would ideally want to get back Mitchell Santner as the overseas spinner. However, if the Kiwi is at the auctions, it could be hard to get him back.
Hence, Akeal could be the backup target. He has been doing well in various T20 leagues and is also quite experienced. Therefore, he can be a good choice for the side.
3) Jofra Archer
Matheesha Pathirana is injury-prone and it would be risky to have him as the only lead overseas pacer. Jofra Archer also has injury issues but he has been playing quite a lot in recent times. Therefore, he could be in consideration for Fleming.
In the Hundred 2024, Jofra did not pick a lot of wickets. However, in phases, he was good and contributed to the success of the team. In IPL, with some suitable venues, he could wreak havoc on the opposition batting order.
