The Chennai Super Kings (CSK) franchise has grabbed Noor Ahmad for the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Interestingly, Noor was bought for INR 10 crores. CSK already have two talented spinners in the form of Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin.
Despite that, they went for Noor at a whopping amount, shocking most of their fans. However, there are many reasons behind this move. Moreover, captain Ruturaj Gaikwad and coach Stephan Fleming had good coordination with each other during the auction, which was pretty much evident.
Let’s discuss the top three reasons why Noor Ahmad can be a game-changer for CSK:
Will get help at MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai
Noor Ahmad is a spinner and the Chennai ground is spin-friendly. This is the main reason why CSK bought him in the first place, alongside Jadeja and Ashwin. Noor will be magical in Chennai’s conditions, helping them secure seven games out of 14. The pitch naturally supports spinners which is why he was their first choice.
A good fielder
The 22-year-old young bowler is a magnificent fielder. He has done well on the ground, especially outside the 30-yard circle. Since the Chennai ground is competitively huge, having good fielders around would help in catching whenever the ball goes up in the air. CSK has a lot of good fielders and Noor is just an addition to it.
Young energy in team
CSK are famous for buying players who have passed the 30 mark in terms of age. However, Noor Ahmad is a young blood who will have a different energy around the older players. Hence, having him around is a boon for the team.
