MS Dhoni: Whenever CSK sits on the auction table, MS Dhoni plays a big role in deciding which player to target and how much money to spend on which player. Of course, they are not seen in the auction but they have made the strategy for the auction by sitting with the team management. CSK CEO has also said this many times. Often the player on whom CSK bets does wonders. But a bet made for IPL 2024 has backfired, and Mahi can show the way out in the upcoming season.
This move of MS Dhoni backfired
- In the auction held for IPL 2024, CSK had placed a big bet on 20-year-old young wicketkeeper-batsman Sameer Rizvi from Uttar Pradesh.
- The team had bought Sameer keeping the future in mind. Sameer is a wicketkeeper batsman. Therefore, the team thought that after the retirement of MS Dhoni, Rizvi can replace him.
- This was the reason why CSK was surprised by spending money on Rizvi and spent Rs 8.5 crore on this uncapped player, which is still being wasted.

This player was a flop
- MS Dhoni not only bought Sameer Rizvi but also gave him full opportunities.
- This player had raised hopes by hitting a six on the first ball of his IPL career but he has flopped in the subsequent matches.
- Sameer has scored only 15 runs in 3 innings of 6 matches. His performance is quite ordinary and not good for his career.
- If they get a chance in the next matches, they will have to improve their performance otherwise they may suffer a loss.
Can be released
- Mega auction is going to happen before IPL 2025. If Sameer Rizvi does not improve his performance in IPL 2024, he may be released before the next season.
- If this happens then it will be a big blow for this young player. He is unlikely to get this price again in the mega auction.
- Sameer had a good performance in Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2023.
- He had scored 277 runs in 7 matches. After this performance, he came into limelight and MS Dhoni‘s attention fell on him and Rs 8.5 crore was spent to add him to the team.
- He was the most expensive uncapped player of the season.
