Chennai Super Kings have retained five players ahead of IPL 2025 mega auction. They have kept the services of Ruturaj Gaikwad (INR 18 Crore), Ravindra Jadeja (INR 18 Crore), Matheesha Pathirana (INR 13 Crore), Shivam Dube (INR 12 Crore) and uncapped player in the form of MS Dhoni (INR 4 Crore). With this, they have utilised the uncapped playe’s slot and have one Right to Match option left ahead of the IPL 2025 auction

The five time champions will enter the auction with 55 crore in their purse, having shed INR 65 crore for the five key retentions. With their core players set-up firmly, CSK will have to just pick the players who can assist the core team adding to their strengths. The same was revealed by CSK CEO, Kasi Viswanathan as he stated that skipper Gaikwad and face of franchise, Dhoni’s involvement during the retention process.

“We had discussions with Ruturaj, the captain, MS (Dhoni) and coach Stephen Fleming before we decided on the retentions. We were very clear that the players that helped the team grow, and stabilise in the previous years were the ones very important for the CSK team to continue further,” said Viswanathan as quoted by Indian Express.

“It was very easy to decide on the retentions – Gaikwad, Jaddu, MS, Shivam Dube and Matheesha Pathirana. But we knew that if we retained these players, we would have a lesser purse to go into the auction. We knew that we wouldn’t be able to compete with the other teams when it came to the best of the Indian players. I mean, we will still try, but I don’t think we’ll be able to get them at the auction,” he added.

As stated by CSK’s CEO, the team will be primarily focussed on the foreign players. CSK have boasted an array of overseas players in its pantheon for over decades now.
