Chennai Super Kings Strengths And Weakness In IPL 2024: The IPL 2024 mini-auction was held on December 19 in Dubai. A total of 72 players were sold in this auction, on which all the teams spent a total of Rs 230 crore.
This time, the biggest bid in history was made in the IPL auction and the most expensive player was bought. Kolkata Knight Riders bought Mitchell Starc for a record bid of Rs 24.75 crore, while Sunrisers Hyderabad signed Pat Cummins for Rs 20.50 crore.
After the two most expensive players in this mini-auction, the 3rd most expensive player was New Zealand all-rounder Darryl Mitchell, who Chennai Super Kings bought for Rs 14 crore. Like always, Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s team Chennai Super Kings had a good auction. He replaced the players in his team, which emerged as champions in IPL 2023.

CSK got some great deals in this auction, but the Chennai team also missed out on some good players. Let us know how strong or weak Dhoni made the team after the IPL 2024 auction.
CSK spent a total of Rs 30.40 crore in this auction, yet they are left with a total of Rs 1 crore in their purse. With this amount, the Chennai team bought 6 players, including 3 foreign and 3 Indian players.

For spin bowling, Chennai has Mahish Tikshana as well as Ravindra Jadeja, Rachin Ravindra, Mitchell Santner, Prashant Solanki, Nishant Sindhu, and Ajay Mandal. This means that there is no dearth of spinners in this team.
Debutant Mustafizur Rahman and Shardul Thakur along with Deepak Chahar, Mukesh Choudhary, Simarjit Singh, Tushar Deshpande, Rajvardhan Hangarkar and Daryl Mitchell are among the options for fast bowling. Therefore the batting and bowling of this team are very strong.

However, there is still no fast bowler in Chennai Super Kings. Bids were made to buy South Africa’s Gerald Coetzee and Australia’s Pat Cummins into the team.
Pat Cummins went out of their budget, but Mumbai bought Coetzee for just Rs 5 crore, which would have been perfect for Chennai if they had replaced Mustafizur Rahman in the team. Chennai does not have a single bowler who can swing the ball at 145-150, which could be a drawback.
In addition, Chennai did not find a replacement captain for Dhoni in this auction, who will probably play his last season in IPL 2024.
