Chennai Super Kings retained these 5 players for IPL 2025, everyone will be surprised to see the list

IPL 2025 Retention List For CSK: Chennai Super Kings has announced the retention list for IPL 2025. The franchise expressed confidence in a total of five players. The five players retained through Chennai included former captain MS Dhoni, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Mathisha Pathirana, Shivam Dubey and Ravindra Jadeja.

Seeing the retention list of Chennai, the biggest relief to the fans will be in the form of MS Dhoni. Since last season, there were rumors that he would not play in the next season, but this did not happen and Mahi decided to play another season of IPL. However, the thing to note is that Chennai retained Dhoni as an uncapped player, due to which Dhoni got only Rs 4 crore.

The long talked about rule in IPL was back that players who have been retired for five or more years can be retained as uncapped. Chennai took advantage of that rule on Dhoni and retained him as uncapped.

Chennai spent a total of Rs 65 crore on five players. The team retained Ruturaj Gaikwad and Ravindra Jadeja at the highest price of Rs 18 crore each. Apart from this, Mathisha Pathirana was retained for Rs 13 crore and Shivam Dubey for Rs 12 crore. That means the team will enter the mega auction for IPL 2025 with Rs 55 crore. Now it will be interesting to see which players Chennai bids on in the mega auction. Now the team will be able to use the right to match in the mega auction for only one player.
