Arre bhai, Mohammad Kaif ne CSK ka khilaadi 12 banaya, par ₹14.20 crore ka Karthik Sharma ko chhod diya! 30 March ko Rajasthan Royals se shuruat, aur Sanju, Ayush ko opener banaya, Ruturaj aur Urvil ki baat hi alag hai! Dube aur MS Dhoni bhi hain, par Karthik ko baithne ka mauka diya! Kabhi kabhi chhoti si umar se bada kaam karne wale Urvil ko chuna hai! Kya baat hai!
