Chennai Super Kings have one of the highest purses for a side in the auction. Yet, they do not seem to have many purchases to make. It is a huge advantage for them, as they can go for players they wish to get. Ideally, they would be looking to buy the likes of Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, and Josh Hazlewood from the auction. But if they find it difficult to buy them, the focus might shift to Lockie. He can be very good for CSK if they manage to get him. Players like him need backing from the management.
CSK are known to be a side with good management. The players in the franchise are backed well by the South Indian franchise. Ferguson with his pace would be an asset to CSK. The 5-time world champions actually lack a pacer with enough exposure at the international level. Ferguson could fill that void very well to be the leader of the attack. Compared to other star pacers, Ferguson might be easily available. CSK has a history of picking such players to get the best out of them in the roles they want to be fulfilled.
