On the path to success of Mahendra Singh Dhoni in the first years of IPL, when young cricketers Karthik Sharma and Prashant Veer did not even think that they would ever share the dressing room with Dhoni, then Chennai Super Kings took a big step of including them in their team.

Let us tell you that Rs 14 crore 20 lakh has been spent on 19 year old wicketkeeper batsman Karthik and 20 year old left arm spinner Prashant Veer.

Let us tell you that only the future will tell whether Karthik will get a chance to play in the presence of Dhoni and Sanju Samson, and whether Veer will be prepared as an alternative to Ravindra Jadeja. But Chennai Super Kings has taken this decision keeping in mind the times to come.

The Chennai team, which has always emphasized on experienced players in the IPL, has rarely invested in young players who have limited experience. But this time the team has taken a new step in the era of Dhoni, in which new captain Ruturaj Gaikwad also has an important role.

Chennai Super Kings head of talent and player acquisition AR Srikkanth, who was associated with Kolkata Knight Riders for 15 years, has played a key role in identifying young cricketers. If their decision is to be believed, Karthik and Veer have the potential to prove to be something special in the times to come.
