NAGPUR, Nov. 19: Indian Premier League and Champion League winners, Chennai Super Kings are likely to be the first franchise to hand over player (retention) contracts. India captain M.S. Dhoni, Suresh Raina, M. Vijay and Albie Morkel (overseas) are the four players to be retained by the India Cements owned franchise.
The retained players will be paid a sum of $1.8 million, $1.5 million, $1.2 million and $900,000 respectively. The three Indian players are likely to be signed for the next three years during the course of the Test match here.
It is also reliably learnt that Muttiah Muralitharan has been conveyed the news and CSK will be going flat out for off-spinner R. Ashwin, who played a pivotal role in both the IPL and CL triumphs. Dhoni had said after winning in South Africa that retaining the nexus of the squad will be biggest challenge for the management and the owners are expected to try and retain most, if not all the players.
The governing council that met recently gave their nod of approval for four players to be retained before the floor is thrown open for auction on January 8 and 9. Indian players and others who have played 75% of matches during IPL-3 will go into the auction pool.
Of the five teams left (excluding Rajasthan Royals and Kings XI), only Mumbai Indians and Delhi Daredevils have closing in on their final list of players to retain. Mumbai Indians are all set to retain Sachin Tendulkar, Lasith Malinga, Kieron Pollard (both overseas) and Harbhajan Singh. Sources said the spinner got the nod ahead of speedster Zaheer Khan based on his superior ability with the bat.
Delhi are all set to retain the batting duo of Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir. Ashish Nehra who shifted from Mumbai after IPL-1 is likely to be the third and final Indian player to be retained. The overseas slot is still undecided.
New outfit Pune Warriors, owned by Sahara, have shown tremendous interest in Raina and have also offered the southpaw captaincy, according to sources. The player has the right to refuse an offer but in the case of Raina, it is learnt he will continue with Chennai.
:pink: :2thumbsup: :smokesmirk:
Raina will continue with Chennai
:bluejump: :happydance: :redjump:
M Vijay ~ $ 1.2 or 0.9 million :cool: :clap:.
Run song: vaadaa machaan vayasukku vandhutta, meesai molaichu munnukku vandhutte :lol:

Super Kings – top IPL team in status chart!
Monday, Jan 03 2011
Chennai: The Chennai Super Kings topped among all the Indian Premier League teams in the list of status trends in India on the social network site Facebook.
The Chennai outfit, winners of the 2010 IPL and the Champions League titles, was ranked overall eighth in the list, one better than the Tamil cine superstar Rajinikanth.
Under skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni, the Super Kings authored a fairytale success story that saw them bounce back from a near-hopeless position in the IPL and go on to win the title.
The Super Kings’ popularity was also due to their consistent performance in the IPL with a record of reaching the final in the inaugural edition in 2008 and then semi-finals in 2009 before annexing the trophy this year.
The Super Kings went one step further by achieving a rare double by winning the Champions League tournament that was held in South Africa.
Topping the status messages list on a global scale was “Hit Me Up” (HMU) while in India, it was the Commonwealth Games followed by the 2010 World Cup football.
“The results reflect the highs and lows of World events that started a global conversaion, new uses of language online and the sharing of popular culture,” a statement from the website said.
Besides the Super Kings, the top-10 list includes popular Tamil film, the Rajinikanth-starrer and blockbuster Endhiran.
