What Next for Chennai Super Kings Ahead of IPL 2027?
There were also reports that CSK might be releasing one of their most expensive buys from the previous season, Kartik Sharma, who was bought for INR 14.2 crore. Prashant Veer was the other player acquired for the same amount.
CSK have been struggling over the last 3 seasons and have not been able to make it to the playoffs. With MS Dhoni's tenure most likely coming to an end with the five-time champions, it will be interesting to see how things work out for CSK.
