Chennai Super Kings has named Akash Singh as replacement for injured Mukesh Choudhary for IPL 2023.

Akash Singh, who was a part of India’s Under-19 World Cup team in 2020, has previously represented Rajasthan Royals. The left-arm pacer has so far played nine T20s besides nine List A matches and five First-Class games and has 31 wickets against his name.
He will join CSK at his base price of INR 20 Lakh.
