The 2025 Indian Premier League will hold a mega auction, and all 10 teams in the league will have several big changes in their list, with many big names probably switching over to different franchises as well. A major feature that fans would focus on before the mega auction would be the retentions of each franchise. One such team about which the fans will be eagerly waiting to know will be 5-time champions Chennai Super Kings. So, let us now talk about these three potential players whom CSK might want to retain ahead of the 2025 mega auction. 3 Important Players CSK Might Hold On To For IPL 2025 Matheesha Pathirana Sri Lanka's top pacer, Matheesha Pathirana, is likely to be retained by the Chennai Super Kings ahead of the mega auction. He was signed by Chennai ahead of IPL 2022 and has been an outstanding performer for the team ever since. Though he did not get to play in each and every game in IPL 2024, he performed really well in the six games that he played—that too, with an economy rate of 7.68 and 13 wickets to his name. Ruturaj Gaikwad IPL 2024 witnessed the rise of Ruturaj Gaikwad as captain of the Chennai Super Kings, after the legendary MS Dhoni. While Dhoni has not confirmed his participation in IPL 2025, so he might not play for CSK in IPL 2025, with the team likely to continue under Gaikwad's leadership. Gaikwad played 14 games in IPL 2024, averaging 53 per innings, scoring 583 runs. So, with this brilliant show, he can be said to be one of the top retentions for CSK in the upcoming mega auction. Ravindra Jadeja Everyone knows Ravindra Jadeja as an outstanding fielder with quick reflexes and accurate throws, which makes him as one of the finest fielders in the game. All-rounder Ravindra Jadeja could also turn out to be a very important retention for the five-time champions. Through the years, Jadeja has been a consistent performer for Chennai. If retained, he could have another phenomenal season like his heroic performance in the final of IPL 2023. Also Read | Top 10 Highest Wicket Takers in International Cricket
