With Chennai Super Kings finishing in last place in the ongoing IPL (Indian Premier League) 2025, let us have a look at 5 players who could be released by Chennai Super Kings ahead of the IPL 2026.
5. Rahul Tripathi could be a player that Chennai Super Kings could release ahead of the IPL (Indian Premier League) 2026. CSK roped in Tripathi for Rs. 3.4 crore, but due to his subpar performances throughout the season, he could face release ahead of the new season.

4. Ravichandran Ashwin could be another player that Chennai Super Kings could release ahead of the IPL 2026. Ashwin was brought in by the side for Rs. 9.75 crore but the veteran all-rounder has been unable to impress in the IPL 2025, which could be one of the biggest reason that Ashwin could be released.

3. Deepak Hooda could be the third player that Chennai could release in the IPL 2026. Roped in for Rs. 1.7 crore, Hooda has been the weak link for Chennai in the middle order, and it is quite possible that the five-time champions could be exploring other options in the mini auction.

2. Devon Conway was quite an exciting buy for Chennai Super Kings in the IPL 2025 mega auction. Roped in for Rs 6.25 crore, Conway has been unable to find his form throughout the season, and it is possible that Chennai could opt to release him and go for a different top order batter in the mini auction.
