IPL 2023: About 24 hours before the first match against Gujarat Titans, Mahendra Singh Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings (CSK) suffered a significant setback. Last year’s joint-highest wicket-taker with Dwayne Bravo, Mukesh Choudhary, has been ruled out of IPL 2023 after suffering an injury.
Meanwhile, within 3 hours from the side of the franchise, such a player has been included in his team. Significantly, this player has also represented India in the World Cup. Along with this, a video of this bowler is going viral, in which he has seen bowling yorkers more dangerously than Jasprit Bumrah.
The Chennai Team Added Akash Singh With Them
We are talking about Akash Singh, the left-arm fast bowler playing for India in the Under-19 World Cup 2020. For IPL 2023, the 4-time champion team Chennai Super Kings suddenly included this player in their group about 21 hours before the start of the tournament. Earlier, Akash was given a chance by the Rajasthan Royals team, although he did not have the opportunity to play a single match.

Will Replace Mukesh Choudhary in IPL 2023
It was firmed on March 30 that Mukesh Choudhary, who created a storm for Chennai in IPL 2022, hassled out of the tournament due to injury. Last season, he eliminated batters for sixes with the new ball. In 13 matches, Mukesh was the joint-highest wicket-taker for the Super Kings with 16 wickets, along with Bravo. His exit was considered a big blow to the franchise in such a situation.
Akash Singh Specializes In Yorkers
But Akash Singh has now been included in the team to compensate for his lack as a left-arm fast bowler. Akash has been consistently performing brilliantly in domestic cricket. In particular, he is known for swinging the gain and yorker ball. This bowler has so far taken 31 wickets in List A, First Class and T20 matches.
A video became fiercely viral on social media only after his inclusion in Chennai Super Kings. Akash Singh is seen blowing the batsman’s bails with a dangerous yorker like Bumrah.
