May be this point is also taken in account so that dhoni can play purely as akeeper and a pinch hitter if needed otherwise not and in 2027 he will retire and join csk as a mentor like bravo who used to play for knightriders in cpl and after retiring joined kkr in ipl as mentor

the BCCI has introduced a substantial change to the way the RTM option will function during the auction. Where previously, the team could simply agree to match the highest bid amount at the auction to claim the player, this time around, the highest bidder will be given one final opportunity to further raise their bid before the team holding the RTM claims the player.
For example: If Ravichandran Ashwin is being auctioned and Royal Challengers Bengaluru has placed the highest bid of INR 6 crores for him, then Rajasthan Royals (Ashwin's current franchise) will be first asked if they wish to exercise their RTM (provided they have one). If RR agree, then RCB will be given one more chance to increase and place a final bid. If RCB now raise it to INR 9 crores, then RR can use their RTM and re-sign Ashwin for INR 9 crores.
