MS Dhoni
The 2018 IPL auction will take place from January 27-28, where Dhoni will now look to build a solid squad. At the heart of CSK's popularity and success was the brand it built around the presence of cricketers like Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Suresh Raina and Ravichandran Ashwin.
"And as I said, it is because of everything - what we been through, how we have conducted ourselves, how the management has been, how the players have been, how the fans have been".
"With Ashwin we can not use the Right To Match as we have already got three Indian players retained". We will definitely go for him in the auction but it is not only him but other players that we want. "If we are looking for a few players, a lot of others are also looking for the same", MS Dhoni was quoted as saying by cricketnext. He was also aware that they can not use Right to Match (RTM) card for him as they have already retained three Indian players. We have to buy him in the auction. "We will try to get him", he said. "Whoever we will get, they perform to the potential they have got", Dhoni added. "How much money we can afford to go for each individual and still make a strong team will be the key", Dhoni said. One keeper, two batsmen. He understands the pace of the wicket, how the bowler is bowling, how the batsman is batting. As of now it is very hard to say whom we will get. "That is the adaptability factor that we need at the auction table and we need to keep emotions in check", he said.
"Our biggest strength has always been the fans". He also insisted that they will go for R Ashwin aggressively and want him in the team at any cost as he is the local player as well.

Australian Open: Grigor Dimtrov beats Andrey Rublev in four sets
Grigor Dimitrov was put through the ringer once more in Melbourne, needing four sets to overcome Andrey Rublev on Friday. The 2017 semi-finalist will play either Jo-Wilfried Tsonga or Nick Kygrios in the last 16.
The 36-year-old was also mindful of how to use the all-important Right To Match (RTM) cards: "We also have Brendon McCullum, Faf du Plessis and Dwayne Bravo (our former players)".
Even as Indian cricket fans were reeling under the humiliating group stage exit at ICC Cricket World Cup 2007, MS Dhoni brought home the inaugural World Twenty20 trophy from South Africa to bring back the smiles on the faces of fellow citizens.
When Dhoni was asked how he would fare at being a skipper after a considerable break both from the national team as well as CSK itself, he said, "A wicketkeeper is always Vice Captain".
Dhoni, who is an icon in Chennai, said that former CSK players will be targetted by other franchises as they were all top performers.
