The IPL 2024 Auction ended on Tuesday at the Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai. Five-time champion Chennai Super Kings bought six new players at the bidding, with the star attractions being the Kiwi duo of Rachin Ravindra and Daryl Mitchell. The MS Dhoni-led side will also have the services of India all-rounder Shardul Thakur, who was purchased for Rs. 4 crore, and the 20-year-old hard-hitting batter from Uttar Pradesh, Sameer Rizvi, who fetched a whopping Rs. 8.40 crore.
With a plethora of all-rounders at its disposal, CSK seems to have covered all bases and has enviable depth in its batting order, with Deepak Chahar potentially slotting in as late as No. 10.
