With Bravo aging (38 y.o.), the Super Kings will want to groom someone who will take the baton forward. Ever since Bravo joined CSK in 2011, he has been an integral part of the squad, making significant contributions to their overall success.
Brathwaite feels Jordan has the capabilities to perform a role similar to that of the CSK legend. While the English all-rounder hasn’t had a great start, Braithwaite stated that Chennai should give him a long rope considering the future.
Speaking on ESPNCricinfo, the 33-year-old West Indian said:
Jordan has managed to scalp only two wickets so far in four matches this season. He has also been expensive, going at a rate of 10.52 runs per over.
With an important tie slated for Thursday against Mumbai Indians, the CSK management will be on their toes to strengthen their bowling attack. When asked whether Dwaine Pretorius should replace Jordan, Sanjay Manjrekar said:
Incidentally, Tushar started for the defending champions this season but has been expensive before he was left out. Meanwhile, KM Asif and young Rajvardhan Hangargekar are waiting in the wings for an opportunity.

“Surely a long-term option” - Sanjay Manjrekar on CSK’s Maheesh Theekshana
While Chennai fared poorly in the auction earlier this year, the addition of Sri Lankan spinner Maheesh Theekshana has reaped dividends. The 21-year-old spinner has proved his caliber by picking up six wickets in three games.
Manjrekar believes the Islander can certainly serve the franchise in the years to come. He added:
Theekshana will hope to continue the good work as Ravindra Jadeja and Co. look to keep their hopes alive for the playoffs.
