CSK can take a shocking decision on MS Dhoni, big revelation in the report!
This time a mega auction is going to be held for IPL-2025. BCCI has not yet taken any decision on retaining the players. Meanwhile, big information is coming out from Chennai Super Kings. According to a media report, Chennai Super Kings is preparing to take a big decision regarding its veteran player Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
How many players can a franchise retain?
BCCI recently held a meeting with franchise owners. In this, the team owners shared their views on retention numbers. Many franchise owners wanted to allow a maximum of 8 players to be retained. Many were in favor of retaining 5 or 6 players. According to reports, some franchises were not interested in retaining even a single player. Now it depends on the BCCI how many players it allows to be retained.
Chennai Super Kings made a special demand
Many media reports claimed that Chennai Super Kings had requested the BCCI to reinstate the old rule in the meeting. The rule was that retired players should be placed in the category of uncapped players. Under this rule, Chennai Super Kings can retain India's great captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni as an uncapped player, which will give them the opportunity to retain Mahendra Singh Dhoni at a very low price.
BCCI is considering this decision
According to the report, BCCI is going to postpone the announcement of retention rules till the end of September. Earlier the deadline was set till August. The report claims that the board is seriously considering the request of Chennai Super Kings because Mahendra Singh Dhoni's stay in IPL will benefit not only the franchise but also the IPL.
Chennai Super Kings can take a big decision
The report claims that Chennai Super Kings want to retain Mahendra Singh Dhoni at any cost. Even if BCCI allows retention of only 2 players, the franchise will retain Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
