Chennai released a handful of players while retaining its ultimate core of Dhoni and Jadeja.

The retention of the players who have been sticking with Chennai for a few seasons now, such as Deepak Chahar, Moeen Ali, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Mitchell Santner, and Ambati Raydu, is not a shocker.

Chennai has also shown an incredible amount of trust in new players like Devon Conway, Maheesh Theekshana, Shivam Dube, and more.

Dhoni’s strike rate takes an incredible jump in the last over and his ability to hit sixes on the very last ball of the match does not seem to tremble even for a season.

His form, fitness, and abilities are still very crucial for Chennai. He is 41 and going strong but since 2018, speculations regarding his retirement rise every year.

However, for the present year, Chennai Super Kings’ CEO Kasinath Viswanath has confirmed that he is all set to continue leading the side.
