Chennai Super Kings were active early in the IPL 2024 auction on Tuesday in Dubai. The 5-time champions bought Shardul Thakur for Rs 4 crore and New Zealand all-rounder Rachin Ravindra for Rs 1.80 crore.
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) made significant moves in the IPL 2024 auction by securing the services of Shardul Thakur and Rachin Ravindra. Thakur, an Indian all-rounder, rejoins the CSK squad after his previous stint with the team, while Ravindra, a promising New Zealand talent, is set to make his IPL debut with CSK.
Thakur, who had previously spent three seasons with CSK before moving to Delhi Capitals, was bought back by the franchise for a sum of Rs 4 crore. His return to the familiar yellow jersey marks a reunion with MS Dhoni, under whose captaincy he previously played.

CSK’s proactive approach in the auction reflects their commitment to strengthening their squad for the upcoming season. With the addition of Thakur’s experience and Ravindra’s promising talent, CSK aims to bolster their team composition as they prepare for the challenges ahead in the IPL.
