The player retention and release decisions reflect a blend of strategic planning and a focus on building formidable teams for the challenges ahead.
Ahead of the upcoming edition of IPL, Hardik has revealed the success mantra in the cash-rich league while comparing Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Mumbai Indians (MI).
CSK had purchased Stokes for a staggering INR 16.25 crore (approximately US$ 1.98 million) prior to IPL 2023.
“On popular demand, are we getting to cheer for you in the CSK team next IPL,” asked the interviewer.
Dhoni saw something special in the youngster and he has become a vital cog in CSK’s wheel since then.
Former CSK batsman Ambati Rayudu claimed in a recent television interview that the purported argument between both the players was nothing more than media rumours.
Dhoni is the only captain under whose leadership India have won three major ICC trophies. Dhoni also had to deal with many controversies both on and off the field.
Notably, Dhoni will turn 42 on July 7 next month. However, age will not be a barrier for him to lead CSK in IPL 2024 next year.
As per Viswanathan, Dhoni was visibly emotional and it had a lot to with him getting out in the final.
Despite CSK’s splendid success, IPL 2023 was also surrounded by the rift rumours between Jadeja and captain MS Dhoni. Several fans were of the opinion that all is not well between Dhoni and Jadeja.
Rayudu is also reportedly planning to enter politics and he may contest the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
Moreover, the video also sparked rumours about the Captain Cool’s retirement from IPL.
CEO of the five-time champions, Kasi Vishwanath, has welcomed Dhoni’s call.
Rivaba could be seen coming down to the ground and touching Jadeja’s feet before hugging him.
Ravindra Jadeja is famous for his sword-wielding celebrations on the field whenever he gets to a landmark while batting.
