CSK retained and released List: Defending IPL champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have a settled and strong squad at the helm, and ahead of the IPL 2024 mini-auction, the franchise needs to make a few decisions looking into the future. While most fans are keen on what the future holds for CSK captain and veteran Mahendra Singh Dhoni, the backroom staff and the think tank are busy penning the final list of retained and released players before the deadline date, Sunday (Nov 26).
Given the history of CSK's working setup, the Chennai-based team would retain most of the players while letting go of those uncertain to donate time due to any commitments or injury scares.
On the retention day, the list of released and retained players were made public.
