‘We got whoever Thala wanted’: CSK CEO highlights Dhoni factor at IPL 2024 Auction

A jubilant CSK CEO expressed happiness over perfectly executing their IPL 2024 Auction strategy which was chiseled by MS Dhoni

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) CEO reflected on the team’s strategy at the IPL 2024 auction and revealed the side got all the players ‘Thala’ MS Dhoni wanted. There’s hardly any doubt that the CSK skipper wouldn’t have been very clear about the side’s picks, even though he did not participate in the auction. Reflecting on their day at the auction, a jubilant CSK CEO Kasi Viswanathan explained how they had perfectly executed their plans.

‘Got whoever Dhoni wanted’

In a video uploaded by CSK on X, the CSK CEO noted that the team had picked up good players at the mini-auction. More importantly, he highlighted that ‘Thala’ Dhoni got all the players he was targeting and said that it was their biggest luck.

He further backed the side to perform well in IPL 2024, placing full faith in MS Dhoni and hoped for a positive outcome. Revealing that he was looking forward to seeing MSD batting, he said that the fans were also expecting the same and predicted the year to be a ‘very good one’ as Dhoni had the players he liked.
