After years of being overlooked in IPL auctions, Sarfaraz Khan finally found a buyer at the 2026 IPL mini-auction when Chennai Super Kings (CSK) signed him at his base price of ₹75 lakh. The domestic batting star had impressed with a blistering 22-ball 73 in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy just hours before the auction, highlighting his form. Sarfaraz took to Instagram to thank CSK for giving his career “a new life,” expressing gratitude and optimism after years of IPL exclusion. The move ends a long-standing snub and boosts his chances of making an impact on cricket’s biggest stage. (PC: NDTV)
