Rajvardhan Hangargekar has said that he has always been a die-hard fan of MS Dhoni so it is a dream come true for him to be picked up by the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the mega auction. Hangargekar was picked up by Chennai Super Kings in the IPL mega auction last week for Rs 1.5 crore. "Winning the U19 World Cup was a really good moment for all of us, this thing we will cherish for our entire life. Everyone wants to play in the IPL, by the time my name came up in the auction, that was the amount I got excited about. When MI and CSK were fighting it out for me in the auction, that was a great moment for me," Hangargekar said in a video posted on the official website of IPL.
