Zakary Foulkes is another option, especially since CSK have been fielding only three overseas players in their line-up. At just 23, the New Zealand pacer already boasts considerable experience with 68 T20 matches and 77 wickets.
His international record includes 22 T20Is with 22 wickets, alongside appearances in ODIs and Tests. With Akeal Hosein used as an impact player, Foulkes could slot into the XI and provide CSK with a proven overseas bowler capable of handling pressure situations.
