Additionally, they expressed a keen interest in acquiring a specialist for death bowling to complement the contributions of Tushar Deshpande and Matheesha Pathirana, who played crucial roles in their past successes. Insights from Dubai brought updates on CSK's strategic moves. After a fierce bidding war, Chennai Super Kings successfully acquired the services of New Zealand's Daryl Mitchell for a remarkable sum of INR ₹14 crore.
