New Zealand’s Rachin Ravindra was signed by Chennai Super Kings for Rs. 1.8 crore at the IPL 2024 auction in Dubai on Tuesday.

CSK and DC started the bidding war for Ravindra before PBKS entered the fray at Rs 1.1 crore. But CSK had the last laugh.

Ravindra made the headlines during the ODI World Cup 2023 in India where he scored 578 runs in 10 innings to end as the fourth-highest run-getter of the competition.
