IPL 2026: CSK’s New Joinee Kartik Sharma ‘extremely Excited To Play Alongside MS Dhoni’
Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: Chennai Super Kings’ latest entrant Kartik Sharma said that he was overwhelmed by seeing the franchises entering into a bidding war at the recently concluded Indian Premier League (IPL) auction to rope him in and stated that he was ‘extremely excited’ to play with veteran MS Dhoni.
India’s Kartik and Prashant Veer became the joint-highest-priced uncapped players in IPL history as Chennai Super Kings invested heavily in young talent. CSK paid an astonishing Rs 14.20 crore each for both players, who started with a base price of Rs 30 lakh, highlighting the franchise’s strategic move towards nurturing emerging talent.
Speaking to JioStar, CSK’s new addition Kartik shared his thoughts on being roped in by the five-time champions, saying, “First of all, a special thank you to all my family members & friends, without their support, I don’t think I would have reached this stage. My entire family is very happy, everyone is celebrating and dancing.”
