The IPL Mini Auction is not too far away. The mini-auction will be held on the 23rd of December in Kochi. With the mini-auction approaching, teams had to give their final list of retained and released players by Tuesday.

The list of Released players created havoc for many, and there are some names in the list that are totally unexpected. Releasing and Retaining players is one of the toughest decisions the teams have to make, but changes are required to win a grand tournament like the IPL.

Dwayne Bravo Parts From CSK After 11 Seasons.

The most shocking release by CSK was Dwayne Bravo. The West Indian has been part of the Yellow Army for the past 11 seasons. He has been a key man for MS Dhoni in crucial matches. Bravo played a major role in guiding the youngsters at CSK, and he was also Dhoni’s death overs specialist.

Another death-over specialist, Chris Jordan, was released by CSK. This came as a shocker to many as the English bowler had not been given much playing time at CSK, and the IPL 2023 seemed like the perfect time for Jordan to suit the Yellow Army.

In addition to the releases, CSK’s CEO, Mr Kasi Viswanathan, stated that MS Dhoni would lead the Chennai team in the upcoming IPL season. The board has placed their trust in Dhoni, and he has proved to be one of the most successful captains for CSK and India.
