Mon Nov 25 19:58:25 UTC 2024: ## CSK Snags Kamboj for 3.4 Crore in IPL 2025 Mega Auction

**Chennai, India** – Chennai Super Kings (CSK) made a significant acquisition in the IPL 2025 mega auction, securing the services of Anshul Kamboj for a hefty 3.4 crore rupees – more than 11 times his base price of 30 lakh rupees. The bidding war for the young bowler, previously released by Mumbai Indians, saw a fierce battle between CSK and his former team, with CSK ultimately securing the win.

Kamboj, who debuted in IPL 2024, gained some notoriety for a playful gesture towards Shreyas Iyer after dismissing him in a match last season. While the incident didn’t garner widespread attention, it highlighted Kamboj’s competitive spirit. Despite playing only three IPL matches and taking two wickets, his overall T20 record (26 wickets in 17 matches) and List A record (23 wickets in 15 matches) impressed CSK enough to invest significantly in his potential. Delhi Capitals also bid on Kamboj before dropping out of the bidding war.

This acquisition marks a considerable investment by CSK in a relatively inexperienced but promising bowler, demonstrating their belief in his future capabilities within the team.
