Indian cricket fans and followers are already excited about the 18th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2025). The buzz around the tournament is due to the mega auction scheduled ahead of the edition. 

With the mega auction looming, fans and critics are bracing for a significant shift in team dynamics. The prospect of retentions and releases has everyone on the edge of their seats. As teams prepare to release the majority of their players, the potential for some of these players to be reacquired at a high price is a tantalizing possibility. 

Here are three CSK players who might be released ahead of the mega auction and then might fetch a high price in the event - 

3. Maheesh Theekshana

The Sri Lankan mystery spinner has been essential to the CSK bowling attack for the last few seasons. Maheesh Theekshana's presence in a team adds an extra bit of dynamism and flexibility to the bowling attack. Theekshana can be an essential part of the team as he can bowl at any stage of the game and put his team in the driver's seat with crucial wickets. The franchises will be hunting for versatile spinners during the mega auction, and hence, there is a chance that Theekshana will fetch big bucks during the event. 

2. Daryl Mitchell 

The Kiwi all-rounder did not have the best start to his IPL 2024 journey. However, as the tournament progressed, Daryl Mitchell became very useful for the team in the middle order. He played a couple of important knocks and also showed his ability to perform in pressure situations. Not only in the IPL, Mitchell has shown even at the international level that he is a clutch player and prospers when the team's backs are to the walls.

1. Devon Conway

The Kiwi opener has established himself as a solid opener of the CSK team in the last couple of seasons. His absence was one of the main reasons that the five-time champions failed to perform as per their potential in IPL 2024. Conway has a great temperament to adjust himself to the game situations and also score runs on a consistent basis. The demand for an opening batter who can score runs consistently and give the teams a wicket-keeping option will be high. It can be expected that Devon Conway will break the banks during the IPL 2025 mega auction.
