Chennai Super Kings were certainly not the busiest in terms of their retentions as the franchise was reportedly among the first ones to provide their list of retained players and released players to BCCI, before the 5 PM deadline on November 15.
CSK have surprisingly left out some big names, while also managing to retain Ravindra Jadeja who was reportedly on the verge of leaving the franchise.
Check CSK's full list of retained players here:
Dhoni, Conway, Ruturaj, Ambati Rayudu, Senapati, Moeen Ali, Dube, Rajvardhan Hangargekar, Pretorius, Santner, Jadeja, Tushar Deshpande, Mukesh Chowdhary, Pathirana, Simarjeet Singh, Deepak Chahar, Prashant Solanki, Theekshana
CSK CEO said, "if any player can be back for CSK at auction, then we'll try to buy them back".
