Mustafizur roped in by Chennai Super Kings

Mustafizur Rahman, the lone representative from Bangladesh in this year's Indian Premier League (IPL) auction, has  got a team finally when Chennai Super Kings (CSK) roped in him by his base price INR 2 crore (USD240,000 approximately).

For the first time, he would play under the captaincy of Mahendra Singh Dhoni who enjoyed a legendary status in not only in India but also in the whole cricket world.

After leading India to the title of T20 World Cup, ODI World Cup and Champions Trophy, Dhoni made CSK the most successful team in IPL history alongside Mumbai Indians.

Chennai will be Mustafizur's fifth IPL team after playing in Sunrisers Hyderabad, Mumbai Indians, Rajasthan Royals and Delhi Capitals last year.

While it was anticipated that Mustafizur, known as Cutter Master, would not get any taker this time around given his form, Chennai was the only team to bid for him. Experts said the slow pitch of Chepauk, the home ground of CSK,
is the main reason behind CSK's move to acquire the service of Mustafizur.
