For the upcoming IPL 2025 season, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are expected to retain several core players while releasing others in preparation for the auction. The probable retained list includes key players like MS Dhoni, Ravindra Jadeja, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Deepak Chahar, Tushar Deshpande, Matheesha Pathirana, and Shivam Dube. These players form the backbone of CSK, with Dhoni likely to remain as a mentor or player if he continues.
Some players who may not be retained include Moeen Ali, Ajinkya Rahane, Maheesh Theekshana, and Mitchell Santner, as CSK looks to optimize their squad balance. This mix of veterans and emerging talent aligns with CSK’s strategy to rebuild a competitive team.
