”Yes, I was expecting that some team will pick me up during the auction and I am really glad that CSK picked me up. It’s a special feeling because from my childhood I have been cheering for the side and to be a part of the CSK side feels very special. No, I don’t know how it will unfold. It feels pretty special, but I haven’t given much thought about it. I guess I’ll get to learn something from my CSK captain as he’s a legend,” R Sai Kishore said to My Khel.
