MS Dhoni is considered by many to be Chennai Super Kings' (CSK) most successful player in Indian Premier League (IPL) history. The veteran wicketkeeper-batter will be captaining CSK once again in IPL 2022 after being retained by the franchise. Having led CSK to four IPL titles, he will be once again hoping to impress in the upcoming season. Ahead of the IPL 2022 mega auction, former IPL auctioneer Richard Madley shared an interesting story on how Dhoni started "the first bidding war" in the tournament's auction history, with CSK buying the former captain for 1.5 million dollars. In a candid conversation with Ravichandran Ashwin, Madley opened up about the inaugural IPL 2008 auction. He also spoke about how buying Shane Warne was a "smart move" by Rajasthan Royals (RR), who won the 2008 edition.
