The other players chosen in the IPL first draft are Ajinkya Rahane, Ravichandran Ashwin, Faf du Plessis and Steven Smith.

The Dhoni-Fleming duo have won two IPL titles and two Champions League in their former association with Chennai Super Kings.

Sanjiv Goenka, owner of New Rising sais talks are on at this stage for the appointment of a coach for the frachise, but nothing can be said now.

"We have approached a lot of people and have shortlisted a few. But I don't think it would be right to reveal any names at this stage. We are in the final process of negotiations and you have to wait for a couple of more days for the name," Sanjeev said
