During the auctions, Chennai Super Kings exhibit a high level of strategy. They are slow to get going, but once they do, they find some incredibly outstanding players to add to their roster. And that is precisely what they did this time as well, as they managed to snag the services of England all-rounder, Ben Stokes, for the staggering price of INR 16.25 crore. It was one of the best deals that CSK could have made because it allowed them to enhance their team in a fantastic way.
It was a surprise to everyone when CSK decided to go all in for Stokes, as most people had anticipated that they would go for Sam Curran to bring him back into their team. CSK went into the auction with a purse worth INR 20.45 crore and seven positions to fill, two of which were to be filled internationally. During the auction for the IPL 2023, CSK made some unexpected purchases and gambled everything on Stokes.
CSK has paid 16.25 crore to get Ben Stokes in their team, the highest price Chennai has spent to get a player on their side during the auction.
