IPL 2021: Strongest predicted playing XI of Chennai Super Kings

11. Imran Tahir

Imran Tahir has time and again proved that age is just a number. Instead of releasing the South African, CSK showed faith in him by retaining him. The spinner defied age and took spectacular catches in Caribbean Premier League.

The veteran spinner can be really handy on turning tracks. He played just 3 matches last time where he took 1 wicket to his name. It will be quite interesting to see if he will be given more chances to play for CSK this time around.

The experienced campaigner chipped in with world-class performances so far in the Indian Premier League. He played 58 games in the tournament wherein he accounted for 80 dismissals, registering his personal best bowling figures of 4/12.
