Chennai Super Kings must now set a clear vision for the future. IPL 2024 will be a lesson for them because they erred in a few departments. Now, they must take some important decisions for the future. On that note, here, we take a look at the list of five players CSK must retain before the IPL 2025 Mega Auctions.
1) Ruturaj Gaikwad
Ruturaj Gaikwad is one of the players CSK must retain before the IPL 2025 Mega Auctions. Having been appointed as the skipper, Ruturaj Gaikwad will surely be a retention for CSK. He is the face of the franchise for the future and hence, will be an important retention.
2) Matheesha Pathirana
The youngster may have fitness issues but when he is fit, he is one of the best T20 bowlers in the world. Again, considering his age, there is no way CSK will be releasing the Sri Lankan pacer. Hence, he is also on this list of cricketers who should be retained by CSK.
3) Ravindra Jadeja
Ravindra Jadeja is also one of the players CSK must retain before the IPL 2025 Mega Auctions. If MS Dhoni retires, CSK must ensure Jaddu stays in the squad for his experience. He still has the age to serve at least a few more years. Also, there are hardly any good replacements for him in the market.
4) Shivam Dube
He might have had a tough run in the last few games but Shivam Dube is a changed player and should be backed. Especially at Chepauk, he is someone who can be dangerous on any day. CSK would also want to get more out of him with the ball in hand.
5) Rachin Ravindra
Rachin Ravindra is also one of the players CSK must retain before the IPL 2025 Mega Auctions. Considering his age and skillsets, CSK must trust Rachin Ravindra to come good in the future. He is a potential future superstar and hence, he must be retained by the team.
