Ex-CSK spinner Ravichandran Ashwin said Nitish Rana and Venkatesh Iyer will 100% be on CSK's radar. He added that if Sanju Samson and Ruturaj Gaikwad open, CSK may look to play either Rana or Venkatesh at number three. Ashwin remarked that Venkatesh can play both sweep and reverse sweep while Rana can access square boundaries and make use of bounce.
