Once again, CSK is a strong contender to win the IPL.
The defending champions have started the 17th season of the league with a victory.
For IPL 2024, CSK has done something special. This time, they have brought in a 20-year-old player from the USA to join their team.
The name of this 20-year-old player is Anirudh Immanuel, who is an all-rounder.
It is said that the discovery of this player was made by CSK coach Stephen Fleming.
Fleming had seen Anirudh last year in Dallas, USA, as a net bowler for TSK and was quite impressed by him.
Fleming was particularly impressed by Anirudh's leg spin, which resembles the skills of Rashid Khan.
Now the question is, how much does CSK pay this net bowler? Unfortunately, we cannot say with certainty how much they receive from the franchise.
According to a report, the concept of keeping net bowlers has not been the same post-COVID. However, in special cases, if teams keep some, they are paid around 7000 rupees per day.
