All eyes will be on Chennai Super Kings (CSK) as the IPL franchises prepare to announce their retained players ahead of the 2025 Mega Auction on October 31. A major focus will be on MS Dhoni and whether he will continue with the franchise, as his future remains uncertain since the 2024 season.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has introduced notable changes to the retention rules for the upcoming season. Indian players who have not represented the national team for over five years can now be retained as ‘uncapped players’ for just Rs. 4 crore.

Each franchise can retain a minimum of one and a maximum of two uncapped players, while a maximum of five capped Indian or overseas players can be retained at varying price slots: Rs. 18 crore for the top two, Rs. 14 crore for the next two, and Rs. 11 crore for the third slot.

Ravindra Jadeja’s Future at CSK

Recent reports indicate that CSK is unlikely to retain star all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja. Instead, they are expected to use their Right to Match (RTM) card during the mega auction to secure his services. This decision comes as CSK assesses its roster and considers their options in light of the new retention rules. 

Ravindra Jadeja has been a vital part of CSK’s success over the years, contributing with both bat and ball. His potential absence from the retained list could prompt speculation about his future, especially with multiple teams likely to vie for his talent in the auction.

With the excitement building around the upcoming auction, fans will eagerly await how CSK navigates these changes and which players will don the yellow jersey in the 2025 season.
