It is surprising to see a pacer picked up from the Afghan team whereas they are well known for producing quality spinners on the ranks. Besides, Fazalhaq Farooqi will get a lot of things to learn from the CSK's camp where the best wicket-keeper of the modern era is present.
Chennai Super Kings has been the most loved franchise in the Indian Premier League. The three-time title winners will be looking to clinch the title ahead of the IPL 2021. Adding to that, they finished in the seventh position during the previous season due to the lack of performance in the middle-order for the side.
So, fans are eager to see the yellow army who were going to play their first match on April 10 against Delhi Capitals at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
