π¨ Murlidharan: "CSK paid big for Dhoni & me, but got Aussie stars cheap."π¨
Host: "Because of the India-Australia rivalry and the Bhajji vs Symonds?"
Murlidharan: Srinivasan had a clear strategy for CSK in the first IPL auction. His priority was to get MS Dhoni at any cost, even $2β3 million, so other teams couldnβt compete. After Dhoni, they targeted me, and CSK managed to sign both of us early. Then, due to the India-Australia rivalry at the time, players like Matthew Hayden and others went for surprisingly low base prices. CSK grabbed them smartly, gaining a huge advantage within the salary cap.
