Chennai Super Kings (CSK) IPL 2024 Trading Window Retained, Released, Full Squad, Remaining Purse: Chennai Super Kings (CSK) enter the IPL 2024 as the defending champions, aiming for another remarkable season. The team, having clinched the title five times, seeks to fortify its squad by adding significant names after parting ways with players like Ambati Rayudu and England's Test skipper Ben Stokes.
Following Stokes's departure after a challenging season where he played only two matches due to fitness concerns and prioritised his international commitments, Chennai Super Kings now find themselves with a substantial budget for the upcoming IPL 2024 auction.
With this freed-up budget, Chennai Super Kings aim to fill the void left by Ben Stokes and bolster their squad by targeting a suitable replacement for the talented all-rounder. Additionally, Chennai Super Kings intends to strategically invest in other players to reinforce their team for the upcoming IPL 2024 season.
Chennai Super Kings have let go of Ben Stokes, Dwaine Pretorius, Ambati Rayudu, Sisanda Magala, Kyle Jamieson, Bhagath Varma, Senapati, and Akash Singh ahead of the upcoming IPL 2024 season. Earlier, speculation surrounded the appointment of Kyle as the new captain, but the all-rounder has been released by the franchise.
While rumours circulated about IPL 2023 potentially being MS Dhoni's final season before retirement, the legendary skipper has focused on his fitness and is likely to grace the league for yet another season.
CSK have an impressive history, securing IPL titles in 2010, 2011, 2018, 2021, and 2023. Should the MS Dhoni-led side emerge victorious again, they would make history by becoming the first team to claim the prestigious title a record six times.
