MS Dhoni does not want the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) to spend a lot of money to keep him for the IPL 2022 season. According to CSK co-owner N Srinivasan.
Therefore, By defeating the Kolkata Knight Riders in the final of the recently concluded 2021 season. MS Dhoni and CSK won their fourth IPL title.
As such, Two new teams will be added to the IPL in 2022, as well as a super auction. CSK, like the other eight teams, will be able to keep a maximum of four players. In addition, there is no Right to Match Card accessible.
“MS is a very fair person. He wanted the retention policy to come out as he didn’t want CSK to lose money trying to retain him. That is the reason why he gave different replies to people. However, he made a very regnant statement. On being asked about the legacy he left behind, he said I am not gone. So, that says it all.” He said
In the inner scrotums of IPL franchises, the four available retentions will be a hot topic of discussion. CSK, for example, would like to keep its core group. But doing so would require spending a significant portion of their 90-crore budget.
If a franchise keeps four players, it will have to spend 16 crores on their initial retention. If it keeps three players, the cost drops to 15 crores, and if it keeps one or two players, the cost drops to 14 crores. CSK is expected to keep three to four players.
MS Dhoni
The fact that these retentions are for a three-year cycle, on the other hand, is likely to be the cause of MS Dhoni’s concerns about the CSK pockets being emptied. When he retires, the skipper is unlikely to play all three positions, putting CSK in need of a captain and a superb player.
This may mean everything from another season. As captain to a shift to a more behind-the-scenes role as a team mentor for the legendary skipper. Near the end of the year, the mega auction is expected to take place.
