Chennai Super Kings: New Zealand's rising all-rounder Rachin Ravindra said it is an extremely exciting feeling for him to be involved with an amazing and historic franchise like the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) for the upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL).

At the auction in Dubai on Tuesday, CSK and Delhi Capitals started the bidding war for Ravindra’s services before Punjab Kings entered the fray. Eventually, CSK acquired his services for INR 1.8 crore.

“Pretty exciting as I grew up watching the IPL and to now get involved with an amazing and historic franchise is extremely exciting. Also, to be involved with a lot of Kiwi guys, with Flem (Stephen Fleming) as the head coach, along with Daz (Daryl Mitchell), Dev (Devon Conway) and Mitch (Mitchell Santner), it is an amazing space to go in,” said Ravindra in a video chat with New Zealand Cricket (NZC).
