Chennai Super Kings squad for IPL 2023
Rather than making any surprising moves that could have raised many eyebrows, four-time champions Chennai Super Kings, unsurprisingly, kept everything simple ahead of the IPL 2023 auction. Dwayne Bravo, Chris Jordan, and Robin Uthappa were the only notable ones among the eight players they released.

Despite finishing ninth on the league table in the last edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL), Chennai Super Kings (CSK) kept their success formula intact ahead of the mini-auction. Amidst all the speculations, they have retained Ravindra Jadeja, who was stripped of the captaincy midway through IPL 2022, and later on, MS Dhoni re-took the helm. Alongside Jadeja, CSK have kept almost every regular they have had in recent times, including Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ambati Rayudu, Moeen Ali, Deepak Chahar, Dwaine Pretorius, and Mitchell Santner among many others.
With INR 20.45 Crores left in their kitty, CSK, in all likelihood, will prioritize acquiring an overseas fast bowler who can lead the pace attack. They won’t have the services of Dwayne Bravo, who has been appointed as their new bowling coach after he made up his mind to retire from the tournament. Besides, with Suresh Raina no longer in the mix, they might go for someone who can play as an anchor at No. 3.
The Super Kings tried hard to get Mayank Agarwal, only to lose against Sunrisers Hyderabad after some bidding wars. Then they satsfied to acquire Ajinkya Rahane at his base price of ₹50 lakhs. Then they made headlines by going all-in for Ben Stokes, and eventually got him at ₹16.25, making him their most-expensive signing. Shaikh Rasheed was bought by the team for ₹20 Lakhs. CSK also added Nishant Sidhu to their roster at a cost of ₹60 Lakhs in the mini auction. CSK also added to their pace bowling buying Kyle Jamieson at a price of ₹1 Crores, and completed their squad by adding Ajay Mandal and Bhagath Verma.
