Chennai Super Kings, the team that finished at the bottom of the points table in IPL 2025, is set to make a big comeback in IPL 2026.
According to media reports, CSK is planning to release several players and build a strong team. As per reports, CSK is set to release Sam Curran, Vijay Shankar, Rahul Tripathi, Deepak Hooda, and Devon Conway.
Earlier, Ravichandran Ashwin had already retired, whose price was ₹9.75 crore. In such a scenario, CSK will enter the upcoming mini-auction with a significant budget.
The franchise is likely to target explosive players like Australian all-rounder Cameron Green.
It is also worth noting that there is still suspense over whether the legendary player Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who led the team to five IPL titles, will play in the next season or not.”**
