MS Dhoni and Who? 4 players CSK should release after IPL 2025, according to Adam Gilchrist

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) was the worst performance team in the Indian Premier League (IPL) in 2025. They stay in the theory in the playoff discussion. But practically, their campaigns ended. The champions who won only 2 of the 9 matches were last died of 5 times.

If CSK loses their matches against Punjab Kings, they will be removed from IPL 2025. Remember, 21 group stage matches will not be played yet. This is a humiliating way to go out, especially for the most successful team in the history of the league.

CSK’s IPL 2026 planning begins

This will definitely force CSK to plan in a different way. And 6. The purpose of lifting IPL cups will begin with who will be released and kept before the IPL 2026 mini auction. Many players performed low; Team combinations do not seem correct and there are aging players.

Taking into account all this, the old Punjab Kings (then Kings Xi Punjab) Captain Man Gilchrist thinks of this CSK, Mrs. Dhoni, Shaik Rasheed, Devon Conway and Deepak Hooda should release. Of course, it would be shocked by most Gilly to talk about Dhoni when it was thought to be the face of franchise, and there was no big problem for them even in IPL 2025.

Mrs. Dhoni must retire, says Gilchrist says

But the truth is that CSK cannot continue until the Dhoni does. They will continue to build a team around it, not a team that won the title. And Gilchrist knows that. “MS, he will know what he wants to do. But I say for the future – I know it will cost me, but maybe he doesn’t have to be there next year. I love you, Ms. You are a champion, a icon,” he said.
