This mega event is scheduled to take place on 24th and 25th November in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Just ahead of this auction, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) CEO, Kasi Vishwanathan has finally broken his silence on the team signing star Indian wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant. After the end of the T20 World Cup, some reports had come out in which it was said that Chennai has shown interest in the wicketkeeper-batsman for the next season. Then this speculation finally reached its peak when Delhi Capitals released their retention list. Now in such a situation, the excitement among the fans regarding the auction of Rishabh Pant has reached its peak. We will try to buy Pant but….- Statement of CSK CEO Kasi Vishwanathan Now the question is, will CSK join the race to acquire Pant in the mega auction? While speaking to former CSK batsman Ambati Rayudu on Provoke TV, Kashi did not rule out the possibility but also admitted that he is keen to be the first to pick his players in the mega auction. Kasi Vishwanathan said, “We had discussions with captain Ruturaj, MS (Dhoni) and coach Stephen Fleming before taking the decision on retention. We were very clear that the players who helped the team grow and stabilize over the years were very important for the CSK team to continue going forward.” He further said, “It was very easy to retain Gaikwad, Jaddu, MS, Shivam Dubey and Mathisha Pathirana. But we knew that if we retained these players, we would have less money going into the auction. We knew that we would not be able to compete with other teams when it came to the best of Indian players. I mean, we’ll still try, but I don’t think we’ll be able to buy them at the auction.”
