Former Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni - who is out of action onfield - has reportedly told Chennai Super Kings (CSK) management that he can go back in auction pool before the 2021 edition of the Indian Premier League(IPL).
According to Times of India, Dhoni is reportedly open of going back into the auction pool so that CSK can get him back at a lower price.
“There will be a big auction before the 2021 IPL and Dhoni has told us that he will play the tournament. So, there’s no question of his retirement from the T20 version anytime soon,” a CSK source was quoted as saying by Times of India.
“He said he can go back to the auction pool. That will give CSK the option of using the right-to-match card to pick him, maybe for a lower price. Being the captain that he is, Dhoni is ready to sacrifice money for CSK.
“We know what Dhoni means to us. We don’t want him to go back to the auction pool,” the source added.
As for the CSK captain's future with the Indian team, MSD has no plans of hanging his boots anytime soon. Dhoni missed the tour of the West Indies and the home series against South Africa and Bangladesh.
Earlier, reports of Dhoni taking a call on his international future after next year’s IPL has surfaced.
“If at all MS will take a call on his future, it will only be after the IPL. You can’t stop speculation as he is such a big player. He is in the best shape possible fitness-wise and has been training hard for the last month,” a source was quoted as saying by PTI.
“However the number of competitive games he will play before the IPL will be decided in due course,” he added.
