Former CSK player Suresh Raina criticized the team’s auction strategy and revealed that MS Dhoni is not as involved in decision-making as perceived. Raina mentioned that Dhoni may have a final say in player selection, but he is not actively involved in the auction process. He pointed out that the core group handles the auctions, with Dhoni possibly naming a few players he wants to retain. Raina also highlighted the lack of response from high-paid players to the captain’s leadership, leading to consistent mistakes and losses. He speculated that Dhoni might be contemplating changes in the team after the disappointing results. With only five games left in the season, CSK’s chances of making a late comeback seem slim as they are currently at the bottom of the standings. Raina’s comments shed light on the challenges faced by the team and the need for introspection to turn their season around.
