The former India star represented as many as six teams in the IPL but never got the opportunity to represent his home franchise.
"The first name I saw picked (by CSK in the first IPL auction) was MS Dhoni, for 1.5 million. He was sitting right down the corner from me. He didn’t even tell me a word that he was going to be picked by CSK. I guess he didn’t know, but that was the biggest dagger to my heart," Karthik had said.
