IPL Auction 2020: To CSK's "Time For Rosogolla" Tweet, KKR's Question In Tamil

Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders's Twitter handles were seen exchanging pleasantries after the IPL auction 2020 that was held in Kolkata on Thursday. KKR were extremely active, making nine new additions to their squad, including splurging the cash on Australian fast bowler Pat Cummins, who became the most expensive overseas buy in the Indian Premier League. CSK, on the other hand, made just four buys -- spending big on Piyush Chawla and Sam Curran. The CSK Twitter handle posted a picture of an unseen CSK member eating a "rosogolla" in the IPL auction 2020.
