IPL 2024 Auction: After the auction for IPL 2024 in Dubai on Tuesday, two stalwarts of Indian cricket, wicketkeeper-batsmen MS Dhoni and Rishabh Pant, were seen on the tennis court. In this scene, MS Dhoni and Rishabh Pant were spotted holding tennis rackets in hand, facing each other on the court. The video of this moment is going viral on social media.
In the video, MS Dhoni appears astonished at a powerful shot played by Rishabh Pant. During this exchange, fans can also be seen making noise in response to the impressive shot.
Both stalwarts arrived in Dubai for the auction with their respective franchises. Rishabh Pant was also seen during the auction in the auction hall, placing bids for players while sitting at the Delhi Capitals' table. However, MS Dhoni was not spotted in the auction hall.
Pant was part of Delhi Capitals' auction strategy.
Though Rishabh Pant may be away from the cricket field, he played a crucial role in Delhi Capitals' auction strategy. He remained present in every franchise meeting and planning session. Consequently, the franchise had asked him to be present during the auction as well. In this auction, Delhi Capitals made the biggest bid for Indian uncapped cricketer Kumar Kushagra at 7.20 crores. The franchise also successfully acquired Jay Richardson (5 crores) and Harry Brook (4 crores) for their squad.
Dhoni's team selected powerful players.
In every decision of the Chennai Super Kings, MS Dhoni's
role is pivotal, and he continues to formulate strategies with his franchise
regarding the players. This time, Chennai placed significant bids in the
auction for players like Daryl Mitchell (14 crores), Samit Rizvi (8.40 crores),
and Shardul Thakur (4 crores), making them part of their squad. The franchise
also strengthened its squad by acquiring Rachin Ravindra for a mere 1.80
crores.
