Dhoni has begun preparing for IPL 2023 and was recently spotted practicing in the nets at the Jharkhand Cricket Association Stadium (JSCA) in Ranchi. On social media, the footage of Dhoni working out in the nets went viral. CSK spent an enormous amount of money—Rs 16.25 crore—to purchase Ben Stokes at the IPL mini auction.
Ben Stokes’ bid from CSK brought him up to Chris Morris’ level and made him the joint third-most expensive player in IPL auction history. Stokes, meanwhile, outbid Deepak Chahar to become CSK’s most expensive IPL auction purchase. Dhoni was “extremely satisfied” with the agreement, CSK CEO Kasi Viswanathan said after the team acquired Ben Stokes.
“Very excited to get (Ben) Stokes and we were lucky also because he came up at the end. We wanted an all-rounder and MS (Dhoni) was very happy that we got Stokes,” Kasi Viswanathan said.
