Cricket fans are excited for the next season of the IPL, and the reason behind their excitement is IPL 2025 auction.
Chennai Super Kings IPL 2025 Auction
CSK will have to make a few changes to its setup ahead of the mega-auction in 2025. Most of the players in the current line-up are in their mid-thirties. CSK will have to be wise while deciding on whom they will retain for the next three-year cycle. In this article, we have mentioned three players Chennai Super Kings might target to retain ahead of IPL 2025 mega-auction.
MS Dhoni
He is also 40 years old and retaining him would be easy due to new rule for uncapped players. However, Dhoni’s brand name is such that any selector would pick him even if he is not scoring runs. Although he had a not so good season as a batsman this year, there is no doubt he is the best finisher and has lead the team to win multiple times.
His exemplary wicket-keeping skills and captaincy has lead CSK to 8 finals and three wins. In one of the recent interviews, Dhoni expressed his desire to play his final IPL game at Chepauk. Any decision of the selectors would eventually depend on Dhoni’s personal decision of continuing to play or not.
Ravindra Jadeja
Ravindra Jadeja has been a core member of the squad since 2012. Apart from picking 10 wickets, he also scored 227 runs in the league stage of IPL 2021. He is one of the best all-rounders India has ever had and his batting performance includes two splendid knocks against RCB and KKR this year. Jadeja is always the go-to man for MS Dhoni whenever he needs to break any crucial partnership. Not just that, he is also an extraordinary fielder. Sir Jadejais India’s most improved cricketer in recent years. He will surely be one of the players CSK would want to retain before the IPL 2022 mega-auction. Unless he himself wants a change, it is a no-brainer that CSK will retain him.
