The Chennai Super Kings retained the services of five cricketers to maintain their core side while releasing the rest of the team. The retained faces include Ruturaj Gaikwad [₹18 Crore], Matheesha Pathirana [₹13 Crore], Shivam Dube [₹12 Crore], and Ravindra Jadeja [₹18 Crore] and MS Dhoni [₹4 Crore]. After retaining five cricketers, the franchise now has a purse of ₹55 Crore, and they need to make sensible decisions as they head into the mega auction.

The fan-favourite Indian cricketer will be back for another season in the IPL, and he is expected to light up wherever the CSK franchise heads. But it is yet to be seen whether the 2025 IPL season will be his last ride in the cash-rich T20 cricket league.
