Will Dhoni attend IPL Auction in Bengaluru? 

Surely this question will be in everyone's mind and him being part of the discussions in Chennai for two days just increased the curiosity.

However, according to CSK team management, Dhoni is likely to be present at the auction, but the final decision will be taken by the captain, InsideSport reported.

The Chennai-based franchise has retained Dhoni (12 Cr) along with Ravindra Jadeja (16 Cr), Ruturaj Gaikwad (6 Cr) and Moeen Ali (8 Cr). The team has already spent 42 Crore and are left with 48 Crore for getting in 21 more players at the IPL Auctions.

Some of Dhoni's older teammates like Dwayne Bravo, Faf du Plessis, Shardul Thakur and Deepak Chahar will be present at the auction table.
