CSK, three-time IPL champions, failed to make it to the playoffs for the first time and ended at the seventh spot in the group stage.
The new-look national selection committee of the BCCI is set to have a boost in its profile with the likes of Chetan Sharma, Maninder Singh and Shiv Sunder Das applying for the vacant posts.
At the No.3 position, Agarkar preferred young Ishan Kishan, the second-highest run-scorer for MI this season, over Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) skipper Virat Kohli.
While Mumbai and Delhi currently occupy the top two spots in the points table, KKR are placed at the fourth position.
In the game against Rajasthan Royals where CSK were chasing 217, Dhoni sent the likes of Curran, Jadhav and Gaikwad ahead of him in the batting lineup all off whom were undone quickly by the Royals attack leaving much of the work on Faf du Plessis' shoulders.
Earlier, Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) Apex Council member Ajinkya Naik, in a letter to MCA, had proposed a similar idea.

BCCI president Sourav Ganguly said that the player who has played the most number of Tests for India will be the next chairman of selectors.
Agarkar, who is a former chairman of Mumbai senior selection committee, is in contention for the chairman's post as the new constitution doesn't have provisions for zonal system.
Former Indian cricketers Dilip Vengsarkar and Ajit Agarkar, as well as Rahul Dravid and VVS Laxman are expected to discuss the 'conflict of interest' issue on Monday.
