“We had discussions with captain Ruturaj, MS Dhoni and coach Stephen Fleming before taking the decision on retention,” CSK CEO Vishwanathan was quoted as saying by Indian Express ahead of the auction. We were very clear that the players who helped the team grow are important to continue with the team.

He said, it was very easy to decide to retain Gaikwad, Jaddu, MS, Shivam Dubey and Mathisha Pathirana. But we knew that if we retained these players, we would have less money left going into the auction. We knew that we would not be able to compete with other teams when it came to the best Indian players. I mean, we’ll still try, but I don’t think we’ll be able to get them in the auction.
