On Saturday, Indian all-rounder Deepak Chahar became the most expensive signing by the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in IPL Auction history. Chennai owners paid a hefty amount of 14 crores to re-sign Deepak in the mega-auctions.
With this, Deepak also became the most expensive Indian bowler ever in the IPL Auctions. CSK competed hard with Delhi Capitals, Sunrisers Hyderabad, and Rajasthan Royals to get the 29-year old back in the team.
Deepak’s sister, Malti, expressed her happiness after the auctions, on Instagram. She expressed her joy at Deepak’s return to Chennai Super Kings and stated that his brother deserved the money he is receiving.
“Chennai it is. And 14 crores…woooh….finally. You totally deserve it @deepak_chahar9 #csk #ipl2022 #auction #yellove #whistlepoduarmy.”, Malti wrote.
