The last date for submitting the retention list for IPL 2026 is approaching. Each team has to submit its retention list by 15th November. This time the rules will be different compared to last time, because any one team can retain any number of players for IPL 2026. In such a situation, everyone’s eyes will be on those players whom the team can release. So let us know which players Chennai Super Kings can release before the auction.

Ravindra Jadeja

The first name is that of Ravindra Jadeja, who can go to Rajasthan Royals as a part of the Sanju Samson trade deal. Jadeja has spent 10 seasons in Chennai Super Kings, but recently reports have come in that Jadeja may go to Rajasthan team for the next season.

Sam Curran

In the Sanju Samson trade deal in which Ravindra Jadeja can become a part, the name of all-rounder Sam Curran has also come up. It is being told that in exchange for Sanju Samson, Chennai Super Kings can trade Ravindra Jadeja and Sam Curran with the Rajasthan team.

Rahul Tripathi

Rahul Tripathi can also be one in the list of players to be released by CSK. Last season, Chennai Super Kings bought him for an amount of Rs 3.4 crore. Tripathi was able to score only 55 runs after playing 5 matches in the entire season.

Vijay Shankar

Vijay Shankar returned to Chennai Super Kings after 11 years in IPL 2025. CSK franchise bought him for a huge amount of Rs 1.2 crore, but he was a complete flop in terms of performance. He was able to score only 118 runs in 6 matches.

Shreyas Gopal

Another all-rounder Shreyas Gopal included in the list may also have to bear the brunt of the poor performance in IPL 2025. He did not get a chance to play even a single match in IPL 2025. Many star players are already present in the team, so Gopal may hardly get a chance in the playing eleven next season.

CSK IPL 2025: The five -time IPL champion team Chennai Super Kings have not been able to make it to the second consecutive season playoffs. Talking about IPL 2025, CSK was able to register only 4 wins in 14 matches and finished last in the points table. In the middle of the season, captain Rituraj Gaikwad was injured, MS Dhoni captained the rest of the matches in his place. Here you can see the analysis of the performance of Chennai Super Kings and also know which 5 players were performed, whose performance has been very heavy for CSK in IPL 2025.

1. MS Dhoni

The first name in this list is MS Dhoni. In IPL 2025, Dhoni scored only 196 runs in 14 matches and his strike rate also was just 135. Dhoni came to batting on such occasions several times, from where he could ensure the victory of the team by playing fast. For example, Chennai needed 15 runs in the last over in the match against RCB. Dhoni could not show timing in shots like his old style, as a result Chennai lost the match by 2 runs.

2. Rachin Ravindra

Rachin Ravindra has made a world -class batsman’s identity in international cricket in a very short time. In IPL 2024, he impressed by scoring 222 runs in 10 matches, but this time he was able to score 181 runs in 8 matches and put only one fifty throughout the season.

3. Mathisha Pathirana

Mathisha Pathirana, called ‘Junior Malinga’, made a big contribution in winning the title of IPL 2023 to CSK by taking 19 wickets in 12 matches. He also performed amazing in the next year i.e. 2024. But he has taken 13 wickets in 12 matches of IPL 2025. Pathirana, therefore, remained guilty of CSK because this time he scored runs at an economy rate of 10.14.

4. Shivam Dubey

The IPL 2025 season was well for Shivam Dubey, in which he has scored 357 runs at an average of 32.45. This is also his third best season in terms of runs, but like MS Dhoni, he kept losing his wicket on important occasions. In clear terms, Dubey could not play the role of a finisher.

5. Deepak Hooda/Rahul Tripathi

Deepak Hooda was bought by Chennai Super Kings for Rs 1.70 crore, but he was able to score only 31 runs in 7 matches played in the season. On the other hand, Rahul Tripathi had opened for CSK in the initial matches, but his bat scored only 55 runs in 5 matches. Both these players could not perform as expected

Csk innings vs kkr highlights: In the 25th match of IPL 2025, Kolkata Knight Riders bowlers wreaked havoc against Chennai Super Kings, they stopped CSK for 103 runs in the same house. This is Chennai’s smallest score in Chepock. On the return of MS Dhoni as a captain, it was felt that the fate of the team would change, because the team had already lost four consecutive matches but it did not happen. In this entire innings of CSK, only 8 fours were installed. Shivam was able to cross the CSK 100 mark with Dubey’s innings of 31 runs. Sunil Naren (3) took the most wickets for KKR.

Ravindra Jadeja was expected to handle the innings but he could not even open his account, he was dismissed by Sunil Naren. Seeing this bad situation, MS Dhoni called Deepak Hooda as impact player but he too fell victim to Varun Chakraborty at zero. As Hooda, the team got the 7th blow in the score of 72.

MS Dhoni dismissed in a disputed manner

MS Dhoni wanted to take a single on the third ball of the 16th over by Sunil Naren but missed and the ball went directly to his pad. The appeal was made and the umpire immediately lifted the finger, although Dhoni felt that the ball was on his bat, so he took DRS. On the camera, it was shown that a slight spike is seen, but the third umpire admitted that it is not a spike of connection with the ball and Dhoni was called out. Dhoni was dismissed for 1 run in 4 balls.
