IPL Retention: ‘At one time, Chennai and he were hand in hand, no longer’

The defending champion Chennai Super Kings (CSK) announced on Tuesday that they had included MS Dhoni, Ravindra Jadeja, Moeen Ali and Ruturaj Gaikwad on their IPL reserve list before the big IPL 2022 auction. This means that they have released players like Suresh Raina and Faf du Plessis, but this decision has not been welcomed by everyone. This also includes Aakash Chopra, who said that “Chennai and Suresh Raina” used to go hand in hand.

In analyzing the retention rate of all eight existing franchises, former India opener Chopra said that in the IPL, “emotions have become a slightly redundant burden”. “Faf du Plessis, Sam Curran, Josh Hazlewood, Deepak Chahar, Shardul Thakur and Chinna Thala) did not exist. Once, Chennai and Suresh Raina held hands, no longer. When it comes to IPL, emotion has become a slightly redundant burden.

“CSK had to keep Dhoni with them, and they did it. With him were Ravindra Jadeja and Ruturaj Gaikwad-so they kept three Indians. An overseas player is Moeen Ali and we have discussed this. It may be four names,” Chopra. Raina quipped, also affectionately known as’Chinna Thala’ and’Mr. IPL’, and has always been a loyal member of the franchise. In addition, his achievements in tournament history are invaluable to the team. In fact, he is currently the fourth-highest base runner in all IPLs, with 5528 runs.

On the other hand, what is shocking is that South African player Du Plessis ranked second in the 2021 IPL competition with 633 games and played an important role in helping Chennai win the fourth IPL championship. After a few months, he was ignored. There are rumors that CSK confused between him and Ali, but they were put on hold on Tuesday.
