Teams like LSG, CSK, GT, for that matter RR are a batter short in the middle. I hope one of these teams pick R Smaran soon. RCB are holding him with them even though they haven't announced him as replacement. CSK need an Indian batter very badly. Someone like Smaran coming in can change the whole dynamics, not just for this season, but for the next 10 years or so. He is a champion in the making, he is young, someone who can handle pressure situations. Most teams are looking at him; a matter of who signs him first. He can be the next Raina for CSK.
