CSK (Chennai Super Kings) participated in the IPL 2020 auctions with the second-lowest purse and bought only four new members, namely Sam Curran, Piyush Chawla, R Sai Kishore and Josh Hazlewood. The core of the team was already intact and most of the players had been previously retained.
Chawla was picked up by Rs. Rs 6.75 million, making him the most expensive Indian player to be auctioned for the 2020 edition, while Hazlewood came for Rs. Rs 2 million, which was its base price. Sam Curran was purchased for Rs. Rs 5.5 million, while the young capless R Sai Kishore was bought for its base price at Rs. 20 lakh. CSK now has 24 players on the team, of which 8 are foreign players.
