IPL 2022 Auction: Deepak Chahar gets more than MS Dhoni at CSK

By Aman Shukla

The most successful Indian Premier franchises, Chennai Super Kings broke their bank to bring Deepak Chahar at the IPL 2022 mega auction on Saturday in Bengaluru.

Chennai Super Kings went into a bidding battle for their new-ball bowler Deepak Chahar. Subsequent to being pushed to the limits by Rajasthan Royals, CSK ultimately bought the pacer for a whopping Rs 14 crore.

Notably, CSK have paid Rs 2 crore more for Deepak Chahar than they paid for MS Dhoni to retain their 4-time title-winning captain. Dhoni was retained for Rs 12 crore while CSK paid Ravindra Jadeja Rs 16 crore to pick him as their first retention choice.

Notably, CSK didn’t enter the race until the bidding went past Rs 10 crore. While Delhi Capitals and SunRisers Hyderabad were in race for the pacer, CSK made their first bid at Rs 11 crore prior to snapping up the player.
