MS Dhoni has said that the Chennai Super Kings would definitely try to get the ace spinner, Ravichandran Ashwin, to the CSK camp. The Chennai Super Kings will be making a comeback to the Indian Premier League after having endured a two-year ban for spot-fixing.
The Chennai Super Kings retained MS Dhoni along with Suresh Raina and all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja. This already looks like a deadly combination and the CSK would want to make a great team around MS Dhoni and Suresh Raina.
Speaking at a promotional event for India cements MS Dhoni said, “With Ashwin you know we had done the same thing in the past. We will definitely go for him in the auction. Ashwin definitely being a local lad, we would want a lot of local lads to be a part of the Chennai Super Kings.”

“We have two right to match options but we have already retained three Indian capped players, I don’t think we can use it. We will have to buy him out in the auction.”
MS Dhoni, the skipper of the CSK further added, “Ashwin will come first in the auction for us. But we will have to wait and watch.”
