Cricket fans are waiting for the retention list of teams of IPL 2025. Reportedly, CSK has finalized the list of players for retention of the IPL 2025, and the chances for retaining MS Dhoni also in line. They have made a list for the retention of Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ravindra Jadeja, Shivam Dube, Matheesha Pathirana, and MS Dhoni. There is no place for their star bowler, Deepak Chahar. BCCI is yet to make its decision on the retention policy; there is nothing official from the board. It is expected that the Board of Control for Cricket in India will allow the six players retention, including the RTM (Right to Match). The RTM might feature in the IPL 2025 auction table, and it will be a great opportunity for the teams to retain their ace players. The list of CSK retention also has MS Dhoni, although, there is uncertainty whether he is retained as a regular player or as an Indian uncapped player.

The BCCI did not give any decision on that as well, but other teams were against this rule. CSK has been playing with a solid squad over the years in the Indian Premier League. They have performed really well with this squad; a lot of their star players like Deepak Chahar, Maheesh Theekshana, and Devon Conway will not be retained, and it will be a huge upset for Chennai Super Kings. It will be interesting to see how the retention list of CSK is going to be before the IPL 2025 mega auction. Dhoni would be hoping for another IPL title for his team after its downfall in the last season. But Dhoni’s retention purely depends on the retention policy.
