Earlier, Chennai bought 21 players in the auction, including Deepak Chahar for Rs 14 crore putting their faith in the all-rounder. However, as fate would have it, Chahar has suffered a serious injury which will keep him out for most of the IPL 2022. Dhoni straightaway has taken to work and identified some seamers in his squad, with the likes of KM Asif, Tushar Desphande likely having to fill in for the Indian international.
CSK has decided to retain their longstanding captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni for the next three IPL seasons. Apart from Dhoni (Rs 12 crore), the franchise has retained all-rounder duo Ravindra Jadeja (Rs 16 crore), Moeen Ali (Rs 8 crore) and opener Ruturaj Gaikwad (Rs 6 crore), who played crucial roles as CSK won the 2021 IPL title. One of the reasons why Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings are one of the most successful teams in the Indian Premier League (IPL) over the years is because they relied on their core players. The retention of a core group over the years had served them wonderfully well.
