It has been five months since IPL 2025, and now the teams are preparing their final list ahead of the retention deadline. Reportedly, November 15 is the last date to submit their retention list, which is why the franchises are working round the clock.
This article will throw light on the Chennai Super Kings and look at how their squad is doing at this moment. For the unversed, CSK finished last for the first time in their IPL history, and there is constant chatter that the Men in Yellow will be the team with the most releases this year.
For that, let's look at how the players have performed since then.

Key Takeaways For CSK, Dewald Brevis has been their best performer since IPL as the South Africa star player has played the most number of matches post IPL, which is 21 and has amassed 540 runs, averaging 35.4. The Issue with CSK is that most of their regular starters have not played a solitary T20 match since IPL 2025. The likes of MS Dhoni, Ayush Mhatre, Urvil Patel, and Ruturaj Gaikwad have not played a single match since the conclusion of the cash-studded league and the upcoming edition is less than four months away. It also pose a headache for the owners while making the retention list, because Brevis is a sure shot retention, but they will have a headache deciding on players who have not played a single T20 game in the last five months and CSK cannot afford to have another bad season.

Key Takeaways Compared to the batters, CSK's all-rounders are doing much better than the batters. Rachin Ravindra, Vijay Shankar, and Sam Curran are doing well, which is also a heavy headache for the management, because there were reports of leaving out Sam Curran. The issue here for CSK is that Shivam Dube and Ravindra Jadeja, who are their two preferred India all-rounders , they haven't played much games since IPL 2025. Jadeja has taken retirement, while, Dube performed well in final, but other than that, he hasn't achieved much in the past five months.

Key Takeaways The bowling unit is very concerning for Chennai Super Kings as their bowlers are out of form. Except Noor Ahmad, who was their best bowler in IPL 2025, has also done well after the cash-studded league. Meanwhile, their seamers like Mukesh Choudhary, Matheesha Pathirana, and Nathan Ellis are not among wickets, which is a concerning sign for any franchise. Further, Indian talents like Anshul Kamboj and Khaleel Ahmed have not played a single match since IPL 2025. Conclusion The Chennai Super Kings face a tough task to finalise their squad, because the ones who are expected to be released like Nathan Ellis, Devon Conway, and Rachin Ravindra, have actually done well, whereas sure shot retentions like Matheesha Pathirana , Shivam Dube, are yet to do well.
Further, most of the Indian talents are not in scheme of things for India, which is why they haven't played a lot of games since IPL 2025.
