CSK should not retain Dhoni if there’s a mega auction, says Aakash Chopra

Former India batsman Aakash Chopra said that Chennai Super Kings (CSK) should not retain MS Dhoni if there is indeed a mega auction ahead of the next year's edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL).

Chopra has given the reason that if CSK retains Dhoni, then the side will lose out on INR 15 crore. The former India batsman has suggested that CSK should send Dhoni back into the pool, and then the side can buy Dhoni through the right-to-match card.

By doing this, CSK can save some money and the side can make a good team from scratch.

"I think CSK should release MS Dhoni going into the mega auction, if there is a mega auction then you will be with that player for three years. But will Dhoni stay with you for three years? I am not saying don't keep Dhoni, he will play the next IPL, but if you keep him as a retained player but you will have to pay Rs 15 crore," said Chopra in a video posted on his Facebook account.
