CSK: 4/10
No spectacular purchases. Moeen a good signing if the Chepauk spins. Before the auction would have suggested an overseas opener to replace Watson so might’ve been better with Roy/Hales, depends what they do with Moeen. Moeen could open as with Worcs. CSK could struggle

DC: 5/10
Tom Curran and Steve Smith headline, but the best signing is Billings. Good history with CSK and adds keeping backup having not retained Carey. Smith purchased cheapish but not sure he’s good enough to lock in for the season. Curran poor last year, they overpaid for him.

KKR: 3/10
Needed OS opener as the Narine experiment seems to have run its course. Should’ve looked at Roy as it was obvious Hales wouldn’t be picked. Harbhajan was a surprise but as a home player will be mainly a squad player. Cutting handy but Christian maybe a better option?

MI: 6/10
Didn’t need much as were already one of the strongest squads. OS pace was needed and that’s what they got. Cover for Boult in NCN and Milne. Chawla a strange one and maybe better with Rashid had they not picked Neesham to leave the last OS spot. Still favourites.

PK: 9/10
Malan £150k = steal. Richardson and Meredith expensive but exciting. PK will hope they have similar tournaments to Nortje of last season. Henriques and Allen shrewd signings too. Can definitely challenge if they find a lineup that clicks.

RR: 8/10
Arguably best OS quartet in the comp. Should be locks providing form and injuries. Still not sure of opening pair but have Livingstone backup. Should’ve released Unadkat. Overpaid for Morris but money to burn meant that didn’t matter. Mustafizur a smart pick.

RCB: 2/10
Heavily overpaid for Maxwell and Jamieson and paid the price. Big mistake releasing Morris as they now have a similar but not as good version in Jamieson. Maxwell has to perform otherwise they struggle. Only chance is if the Christian blessing works again.

SRH: 2/10
Didn’t know they had turned up they were that quiet. Banking on similar squad is a dangerous call. Mujeeb a good buy but unsure if he starts as he is likely the last OS pick with Warner, Rashid, Bairstow/Williamson sure starters. Jadhav fairly underwhelming pick.
