The young gun was retained by the franchise ahead of the 2022 auction. Despite going unsold in the IPL 2023 auction, Akash Singh was roped in by Chennai Super Kings, with the team set to pay him his base price of 20 Lakh. After his first IPL stint, the young pacer went on to join CSK for IPL 2023 and made his debut against whom he played his first IPL game.

Known for his searing pace, Akash Singh can bowl with genuine pace with the speedster, bowling deliveries up to the speeds of 145 kmph when he finds his stride. The Bharatpur-based bowler has a lot of potential, with CSK also believing in the same ideology, handing him a two-year contract.

The Nagaland star, who replaced Mukesh Choudhary in the CSK set-up, will be eager to replicate his predecessor’s antics. Choudhary was the team’s joint-highest wicket-taker in the last season of IPL. Akash will hope to be the upcoming emerging star for CSK this year and make himself a vital part of MS Dhoni’s side.
