CHENNAI SUPER KINGS GET A 9.5/10 RATING

IPL holders Chennai Super Kings had already retained a chunk of their core players, boasting of an already settled and well-covered squad. Notably, the MS Dhoni-led side had released the likes of Ben Stokes, Dwaine Pretorius, and Kyle Jamieson to name a few. The IPL 2024 auction saw them purchase Daryl Mitchell for a hefty sum of INR 14 crore. He looks an able replacement for Stokes. In Shardul Thakur (INR 8 crore), CSK got back a player from their set-up from the past. Mustafizur Rahman joined the team for INR 2 crore. With these two signings, CSK filled the void left by Pretorius and Sisanda Magala and brought more experience in bowling. Ravindra, who had a dream ICC World Cup campaign, adds an option upfront. Uncapped Sameer Rizvi was bought for INR 8.4 crore. He has the desired potential. It was a clean auction for CSK.
