IF INDIAN WOMEN CRICKETERS PLAYED IPL, WHO WOULD CAPTAIN CSK AND MI FOR IPL 2020?

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) rely on spin-friendly wickets heavily. Apart from Harbhajan Singh and Karn Sharma, Imran Tahir solved most of the team's bowling issues last season.

In the women's team, Poonam Yadav has been Harmanpreet Kaur's trump card to take wickets in the T20 format. She has a splendid record of picking 81 wickets in the 58 games she has played so far. So, if CSK gets to pick a woman cricketer, it shall be Poonam Yadav for all the good reasons.

With Kolkata gearing up to host the auction for the upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) on December 19, CSK is expected to rope in some high-profile, experienced players.

In Mumbai Indians, only Suryakumar Yadav and Ishan Kishan act as regular middle-order players and others like Hardik Pandya, Krunal Pandya and Keiron Pollard are more of floaters. Hence, adding a good middle-order would be a wise option.

Considering the options available, Jemimah Rodrigues who has a strike rate of 120.05 from 29 games she has played so far, looks the best bet for Mumbai Indians.
