During the first session of IPL Auction 2021, Chennai Super Kings grabbed English all-rounder Moeen Ali in 7 Crore in a head to head bid fight with Punjab Kings.
Before grabbing Ali, CSK also showed it’s interest in Glenn Maxwell. The bidding war between CSK and RCB went long and finally RCB made it. Maxwell sold to RCB in 14.25 Crore. CSK lost the bid for Maxwell because they didn’t wanted to make the price higher for them.
Now, CSK’s bowling coach Lakshmipathy Balaji has reacted to these two bids’ fight. He said, “Absolutely buzzing to be going to CSK. Excited to play under MS Dhoni. This has made my day, made my year.”
