IPL 2020: Is Dawid Malan on Chennai Super Kings’ radar to replace Suresh Raina?

The Chennai Super Kings (CSK) team is planning to strike a lucky break in the Indian Premier League (IPL 2020). InsideSport has reliably learned from its sources that there is little discussion in the CSK camp about the name of England’s Dawid Malan.

Malan, 33, had become the leading scorer in the three-game series against the Australians, in which he racked up 129 runs with a strike rate of 138.70.

‘These are just discussions, nothing has been finalized as such. Malan is a very accomplished T20 player. He is also a southpaw like Raina. But the team management has not made any final decisions on whether to ask for Raina’s replacement or not. ‘the CSK team source said on condition of anonymity.
