No cricket talk: MS Dhoni had this advice for CSK's Rs 14.2 crore recruit Prashant Veer
Chennai Super Kings' new recruits, Kartik Sharma and Prashant Veer, were signed for Rs 14. 2 crore each. Prashant received financial advice from MS Dhoni, not cricket tips.
The young all-rounder is eager to learn and adapt to the IPL environment, focusing on his own game rather than comparisons to established players.
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) spent Rs 14. 2 crore each to sign uncapped players Kartik Sharma and Prashant Veer at the Indian Premier League (IPL) Auction 2026. After joining the CSK squad, Prashant received a piece of advice from MS Dhoni that was not about cricket.
Prashant said Dhoni’s first advice was about managing money rather than tactics on the field. "Right now, we haven’t spoken much about cricket. He told me to save my money and not spend it unnecessarily," he said, as cited by Sportstar magazine.
The 20-year-old all-rounder also spoke about his batting role. "I can bat in any situation. Just as long as I don’t have to open, I will do it anywhere else," Prashant said to Sportstar.
