Mega auction is going to be held in IPL 2025, before which Chennai Super Kings will have a chance to retain 4 of their players. Today, through this special article, we are going to tell the names of those 4 players whom CSK can retain.

Rituraj Gaikwad

Chennai Super Kings have chosen Rituraj Gaikwad as their new captain, so they will definitely retain him before the mega auction of IPL 2025. Rituraj Gaikwad has scored a lot of runs while opening for Chennai in the past. He has played 66 matches in the IPL so far in which he has scored 2380 runs. Also know that CSK has scored 2 centuries and 18 half-centuries in IPL. In IPL 2024 too, Gaikwad was the highest run scorer for the team in the season. He scored 583 runs in 14 matches at an average of 53.

MS Dhoni

SS Dhoni is also included in our list. 42-year-old Dhoni played the role of finisher for the team in IPL 2024 and scored runs at a strike rate of 220. Dhoni has not yet taken any decision regarding IPL retirement, so he can once again be seen playing in the next season of IPL. Also know that Dhoni wants to play his last IPL match in Chepauk and his dream is still unfulfilled.

Ravindra Jadeja

It is impossible for Chennai Super Kings not to retain their star all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja. IPL 2024 was nothing special for Jadeja, but Jadeja has done a great job for CSK for a long time. Jadeja has scored 2959 runs and taken 160 wickets in 240 matches in IPL. In such a situation, CSK will definitely retain him.

Matheesha Pathirana

Sri Lanka's young pacer Mathisha Pathirana, known as Baby Malinga, can also be included in the list of retained players of CSK. Pathirana has bowled brilliantly for Chennai Super Kings in the last two seasons. He has emerged as a 'trump card' for CSK. Pathirana played only 6 matches in IPL 2024, but during this time he took 13 wickets for the team. In IPL 2023, Pathirana took 19 wickets. This Sri Lankan pacer is an expert in hitting accurate yorkers. In such a situation, CSK would not want to let him go from their hands.
