The Indian Premier League (IPL) has been a big platform not only for batsmen and bowlers but also for wicketkeepers. This league, which started in 2008, has made many great keepers stars. Lightning-fast stumpings behind the wicket, flying catches and dismissals that change the course of the match, all this has been an important part of the thrill of IPL.

MS Dhoni, who has played for Chennai Super Kings and Rising Pune Supergiants, has made a total of 201 dismissals in the IPL so far. These include 154 catches and 47 stumpings.

The topic of IPL 2026 is much discussed because mini auction is going to be held on 16th December. This time many great players can be seen in the auction, because great players like Andre Russell to Glenn Maxwell have been released. Everyone will be keeping an eye on the players who have been released in the auction, but there are also some retained cricketers who can be seen playing for the last time in IPL 2026. See here the list of players who can retire after IPL 2026.

1. MS Dhoni

The first name in the list is that of MS Dhoni. Whenever the new season of IPL is about to come, the news of Dhoni’s retirement starts gaining momentum. But every time Dhoni puts an end to the rumors of retirement. Chennai Super Kings CEO Kashi Vishwanath has confirmed that Dhoni will play in IPL 2026. Dhoni’s knee problem is not hidden from anyone, while Sanju Samson is being seen as his successor. Samson has now come to CSK from Rajasthan Royals.

2. Ishant Sharma

Ishant Sharma has been retained by Gujarat Titans for IPL 2026. His form has not been very good in the last few seasons. In IPL 2025, he took only 4 wickets in 7 matches and the economy rate was 11.80. Last season he also became a victim of fitness related problems. If Ishant retires from the Indian Premier League after 2026, it will not be a surprising decision.

3. Ajinkya Rahane

Ajinkya Rahane was the captain of Kolkata Knight Riders last season, but under him the KKR team stood eighth in the points table. Now, to keep the captaincy option open, KKR has retained him for IPL 2026 also. Rahane was not finding any buyer in the mega auction, but KKR had played a gamble and bid on him. Rahane scored 390 runs in 12 matches in IPL 2025 and his strike rate was also around 148. But the problem is that apart from KKR, no other team is showing interest in Rahane.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s IPL 2026 has been confirmed, although he had already confirmed it but now the retention list has also come. Chennai Super Kings has retained 17 players including MS Dhoni for the upcoming IPL edition. Whereas Sanju Samson has been included in his squad through trade. Meanwhile, MS Dhoni was seen at the private airport, where his look looked no less than that of a Bollywood hero.

MS Dhoni was seen at a private airport. Wearing a half-sleeved beige t-shirt (light brown), he was wearing black glasses, which gave him a dashing look. He also said goodbye to the camera while leaving. Her black colored bag was also stylish.

Will MS Dhoni play as an impact player in IPL 2026?

Fans are making these guesses after Sanju Samson’s inclusion in Chennai Super Kings. In fact, before the auction, CSK included wicket keeper Sanju Samson in its team through trade, who was earlier the captain of Rajasthan Royals. In place of Sanju, CSK gave Ravindra Jadeja and Sam Curran, who will play for Rajasthan in the upcoming season. Sanju Samson is being considered as the successor of MS Dhoni.

It is possible that Sanju Samson will keep wicket and MS Dhoni will come to bat only as an impact player. CSK may also be looking at Samson as the future captain, because the upcoming edition could be Dhoni’s last IPL as a player.

CSK retention list

Ruturaj Gaikwad, MS Dhoni, Dewald Brewis, Ayush Mhatre, Urvil Patel, Shivam Dubey, Jamie Overton, Ramakrishna Ghosh, Noor Ahmed, Khalil Ahmed, Anshul Kamboj, Gurjapaneet Singh, Nathan Ellis, Shreyas Gopal, Mukesh Chaudhary, Sanju Samson (included in trade).

Before the IPL 2026 auction, Chennai Super Kings have released a total of 9 players, while retaining 16 players. CSK has also retained four foreign players in the form of Dewald Brewis, Jamie Overton, Noor Ahmed and Nathan Ellis. The most shocking news is that Chennai Super Kings have released Mathisha Pathirana and Rachin Ravindra.

CSK had already traded 2 all-rounder players in the form of Ravindra Jadeja and Sam Curran to Rajasthan Royals. Sanju Samson has come to Chennai Super Kings in place of both of them. Chennai Super Kings currently has 16 players in their squad and would like to fill the remaining 9 slots in the auction.

CSK Retention List: MS Dhoni, Rituraj Gaikwad, Sanju Samson (trade), Shivam Dubey, Dewald Brewis, Ayush Mhatre, Urvil Patel, Shivam Dubey, Ramakrishna Ghosh, Jamie Overton, Noor Ahmed, Khalil Ahmed, Anshul Kamboj, Nathan Ellis, Shreyas Gopal, Mukesh Chaudhary, Gurjapaneet Singh.

CSK released these players: Rahul Tripathi, Deepak Hooda, Vansh Bedi, Andre Siddharth, Sheikh Rashid, Rachin Ravindra, Vijay Shankar, Kamlesh Nagarkoti, Mathisha Pathirana.

43.4 crores left in CSK’s purse

There are now 16 players in the squad of Chennai Super Kings. In the auction, CSK team will be able to bid on maximum 9 players, for which it has a purse of Rs 43.4 crore left. Let us tell you that out of the remaining 9 players, 4 players should be foreigners.

The performance of Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2025 was very disappointing. In the entire season, the team could win only 4 out of 14 matches and remained at the bottom position in the table.
