CSK retained players 2023: Full list of players retained by Chennai Super Kings ahead of IPL Auction

Four-time champions Chennai Super Kings had a forgettable season earlier this year. They managed only four wins in 14 matches and finished ninth in the points table.

Chennai Super Kings tried out Ravindra Jadeja as their new captain in IPL 2022, but the experiment failed. MS Dhoni took back the captaincy midway through the season. Still, the team could not avoid a ninth-place finish.

Over the years, the Super Kings have retained their core group of players, but as senior players are inching towards the end of their careers, the franchise now needs some young blood in the squad.

CSK may look to add some talented youngsters to their squad at the upcoming IPL 2023 Auction. Many fans want them to re-sign England all-rounder Sam Curran, who missed the previous IPL season.

Here's a look at the full list of players retained by the Super Kings ahead of IPL 2023:

Mahendra Singh Dhoni (C & WK), Ravindra Jadeja, Devon Conway, Moeen Ali, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Rajvardhan Hangargekar, Mitchell Santner, Shivam Dube, Ambati Rayudu, Dwaine Pretorius, Maheesh Theekshana, Prashant Solanki, Deepak Chahar, Mukesh Choudhary, Simarjeet Singh, Tushar Deshpande, Matheesha Pathirana, and Subhranshu Senapati.
