This is the CSK wicketkeeper after Dhoni..!?
Before the start of the IPL 2025 auction, chennai Super Kings retained mahendra singh dhoni as an uncapped player for four crores. Many interesting events took place in the IPL mega auction held last week. rishabh pant has become the most expensive player in the history of IPL. The lucknow Super Giants team bought him for 27 crores in the auction. After him, shreyas iyer and venkatesh Iyer are the most expensive players. The chennai Super Kings team has bought many young players in the auction this time. Especially, they have bought a lot of fast bowlers. The chennai team was in need of a wicketkeeper-batter. Although dhoni is sure to play in the coming season, no one knows when he will announce his retirement. So the team needed someone who would be a wicketkeeper and finisher after Dhoni.
Despite the presence of key players like KL rahul, Jitesh Sharma, Ishan Kishan, and rishabh pant in the IPL auction this time, chennai could not buy them. dhoni has been batting only in the last two overs for the last two seasons. He also underwent knee surgery recently. dhoni was expected to announce his retirement after winning the trophy in IPL 2023. However, last season, he handed over his captaincy to Ruturaj Gaikwad and played as a player. So this year too, dhoni is expected to play only in the last two overs. In this situation, the chennai Super Kings management is actively considering who can be appointed as a permanent wicketkeeper after Dhoni. Currently, dhoni and New Zealander Devon Conway are the only wicketkeepers in the chennai Super Kings team. Captain Ruduraj has been a wicketkeeper in only a few domestic series. He is currently captaining and wicketkeeper for maharashtra in the ongoing domestic t20 series. In this situation, it has been reported that chennai Super Kings have decided to use Conway as a keeper in the absence of Dhoni.
