IPL 2026 Mini Auction: Top 3 players Chennai Super Kings should target for in the upcoming mini auction

2. Liam Livingstone

Liam Livingstone adds steadiness to the middle order and provides a useful spin bowling option during the middle overs. CSK would be eager to add him to their side, as they require a consistent middle-order batsman to partner with Dewald Brevis.

With Livingstone also performing well in other leagues, CSK may be willing to engage in a bidding war to secure his services. As a result, his acquisition will meet the requirements for a swashbuckling batter. In just 49 games, he has scored 1091 runs at a swashbuckling strike rate of over 160.
