Chennai Super Kings (CSK) prioritise retention of key players for IPL 2025 mega auction, limiting bids for star players like KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant. Chennai Super Kings will retain key players like Ruturaj Gaikwad and MS Dhoni,

The Delhi-based franchise decided not to retain Pant with putting an end to his 9-year-long association with the team. The IPL 2025 mega auction is set to take place on November 24 and 25 in Jeddah in Saudi Arabia.

This became possible due to the revival of an old IPL rule, which was initially discontinued in 2021, allowing Indian players who haven’t represented India internationally in the last five years to be classified as uncapped.
