Purse Left: ā¹2.75 Crore.
They spent everything on the "Big 5" (Rohit, Hardik, Bumrah, Surya, Tilak).
Now they are just spectators inā¦
Watching two of the best Indian talents getting unsold in IPL 2026 Auction and foreigners taking away all the money is actually a sad thing.

Prithvi Shaw and Sarfaraz Khan are actually two world class players but lacking opportunities due to cricket politics š#IPL2026Auction pic.twitter.com/gPhBciejwR
Watched many auctions over the years but this has to be #CSKās worst one. Confusing picks, missed opportunities & zero CSK style clarity acting like the old RCB at the table! #IPL2026Auction #IPLAuction
