Ex-CSK all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin responded to an X user after the IPL 2026 auction. "How happy are you after leaking all the CSK picks?" the fan asked. Ashwin replied jokingly, "How are you guys able to believe these lies?" Ashwin had reportedly predicted that CSK would buy Prashant Veer and Kartik Sharma minutes before they were sold to the franchise.
