IPL 2025 Ravichandran Ashwin on CSK Retention: Before the mega auction of IPL 2025, all eyes are on Chennai Super Kings and MS Dhoni. Many veteran cricketers are also seen giving their opinion on this. Recently, Indian team’s experienced spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has presented a unique and surprising opinion on the retention policy of Chennai Super Kings. In which he has advised not to retain MS Dhoni in the team as an uncapped player.
Ashwin told who should be made uncapped player in place of Dhoni
Ravichandran Ashwin on his YouTube channel advised Chennai Super Kings to retain Mahendra Singh Dhoni as a capped player and not as an uncapped player and to retain Sameer Rizvi as the only uncapped player in the team. .
Prasanna Raman disagreed with Ashwin’s advice
According to the recently implemented rule of the IPL Governing Council, Indian players who have not played international matches in the last five years can be retained as uncapped players for Rs 4 crore. Taking direct advantage of this rule, Chennai can retain Dhoni in this category, but Ravichandran Ashwin has presented a different thinking.
Ravichandran Ashwin said, “I will retain Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ravindra Jadeja, Shivam Dubey, Mathisha Pathirana and MS Dhoni, but Dhoni as a capped player. According to me, these five players will be a part of CSK’s strength and the sixth player Generally, I would choose Sameer Rizvi as an uncapped player.”
However, former South African performance analyst Prasanna Raman does not agree with this. He said that Sameer Rizvi did not perform as per his price in IPL 2024. 20-year-old Rizvi was bought for Rs 8.4 crore, but he scored only 51 runs in 8 matches and his strike rate was 118.
Ashwin praised Sameer Rizvi
But Ravichandran Ashwin defended Sameer Rizvi and praised his excellent performance in the UP T20 League. Rizvi was the second highest run scorer in the league by scoring 468 runs at an average of 42.55 and strike rate of 152.44.
Ashwin said, “Rizvi is performing better every day and has a lot of potential. He is like rising stars like Shahrukh Khan, Abhinav Manohar and Dhruv Jurel and can earn a big name in the future.”
