In 2016, CSK bought SIM-bowling all-rounder Chahar for Rs 60 lakh. In the next four years, the price of tea has increased 18 times. This is proof that IPL franchises do not lack money even in extreme situations. One more thing is clear from the auction, if a team plans to take a particular cricketer, they are willing to pay any money for it.

Chahar is a Power-Play Expert Batter at CSK. His short stormy innings down in the batting order has made a difference in many matches. He can swing the ball as well. Very few of the modern Indian bowlers are now seen swinging the ball. Last year’s champions Chennai started their bowling attack with Chahar’s swing bowling in front of them. Chennai’s 20 overs were controlled mainly by Chahar’s four overs. As a result, Chennai jumps for tea. That is the main reason for taking him. Whether he gets more money from Dhoni or not was not a matter for Chennai.
