CSK Possible Retention: Recently, BCCI and IPL Governing Council issued new rules related to retention. Following this rule, IPL teams can retain 5 players. Apart from this, 1 Right to Match (RTM) can be used in the auction. Also, among these 6 players, it is necessary to have 1 uncapped player. At present, almost all the teams are making strategies on their retention, but before this mega auction, what will be the strategy of Chennai Super Kings, one of the most successful teams of IPL? Which players will Chennai Super Kings retain?
Apart from Mahendra Singh Dhoni, the retention of Ravindra Jadeja and Rituraj Gaikwad is considered almost certain. After the uncapped player rule, Chennai Super Kings can retain Captain Cool for Rs 4 crore, but they will have to spend Rs 18 crore each for Ravindra Jadeja and Ruturaj Gaikwad. After this, Chennai Super Kings can use RTM for the remaining 3 players. Also, Mathisha Pathirana may be in the list of retained players, but who will be the other retentions?
Apart from this, CSK can retain either Shivam Dubey and Rachin Ravindra. Rachin Ravindra can play as an opening batsman. Also plays spin bowling better. Rachin Ravindra can prove to be a great option on the wicket of Chepauk. Although Rachin Ravindra has not played too many IPL matches, he has impressed in the ones he has played. Whereas, Shivam Dubey has been a big player for Chennai Super Kings. Especially, the way Shivam Dubey hits big shots in the last overs, that ability makes him special, but who will CSK retain between Rachin Ravindra and Shivam Dubey? It will not be easy for Chennai Super Kings management to select one of the two players.
