5 Players CSK Could Retain IPL 2025: Before the mega auction of IPL 2025, BCCI has announced the retention policy. All franchises will have the option to retain a maximum of 6 players for IPL 2025. However, if a franchise retains all its 6 players then it will not get the Right to Match card in the mega auction. At the same time, in these 6 retentions, there can be maximum 5 capped and maximum 2 uncapped players.

Before the IPL auction, let us tell you which 5 players the Chennai Super Kings team can retain. This time the cards of players like Devon Conway, Shardul Thakur and Deepak Chahar may be cut.

5.Shivam Dubey (RTM)

Chennai Super Kings can use RTM card for young all-rounder player Shivam Dubey. Shivam Dubey had shown a great performance for CSK during IPL 2024. He had excellent hitting and that is why he can be retained again.

4.MS Dhoni

Due to the new rules of IPL retention, the way has been cleared for MS Dhoni to play the next season. If a player has not played an international match for the last 5 years or is not under contract then he will be considered uncapped. In such a situation, MS Dhoni can also be retained in the uncapped category. There is a rule of Rs 4 crore for uncapped.

3.Mathisha Pathirana

CSK can also retain Sri Lankan fast bowler Mathisha Pathirana. He bowled excellent yorkers last season. This time he can be retained as the third player and he can get a total of Rs 11 crore as retention.

2.Ravindra Jadeja

The team would not want to leave its veteran all-rounder player Ravindra Jadeja at all. Ravindra Jadeja has been playing for CSK for the last many years. His role is going to be important with both ball and bat. For this reason, he can be the second retention of the team. He will get Rs 14 crore for this.

1.Rituraj Gaikwad

Chennai Super Kings can first retain its captain Ruturaj Gaikwad. For this he will have to pay Rs 18 crore to Gaikwad. This time BCCI has set a rule of Rs 18 crore for first retention. Gaikwad is the future of the team and that is why the franchise would like to retain him first.
