Former CSK batter Robin Uthappa believes Dhoni did this because he understand ‘the value’ of Jadeja in the team. England all-rounder Moeen Ali was retained for Rs 8 crore while opener Ruturaj Gaikwad was retained for Rs 8 crore.
Chennai Super Kings skipper and Indian cricket legend MS Dhoni made the bold decision to becoming the second pick for his Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise on Player Retention day on Tuesday (November 30). In the process, Dhoni ensured that Ravindra Jadeja will take home Rs 16 crore for being the first pick, while Dhoni was happy settling for Rs 12 crore in comparison.
Former CSK batter Robin Uthappa believes Dhoni did this because he understand ‘the value’ of Jadeja in the team. England all-rounder Moeen Ali was retained for Rs 8 crore while opener Ruturaj Gaikwad was retained for Rs 8 crore as the 4-time champions spent Rs 42 crore on retentions.
Uthappa said CSK’s retention was a clear indication that the four-time champions are looking to groom Jadeja as their next captain after Dhoni decides to retire from competitive cricket.
