Jadeja and Sam Curran are gone…CSK will also cut the cards of these 5 players before the auction – News Himachali News Himachali

Many big players will be included in the team and some will be shown the way out. In this major reshuffle, Sanju Samson will be traded to Rajasthan Royals, in exchange for which Ravindra Jadeja and Sam Curran will leave the team. Apart from this, the team is also planning to release several other players to strengthen its playing eleven and squad depth. Last season, due to injuries, the team had to sign many players, which include players like Ayush Mhatre, Dewald Brewis and Urvi Patel. These players will remain an important part of the team in future. Now, with the arrival of Sanju Samson, the top order of the team will become even stronger. This report talks about 5 players whom CSK team can drop. Will Devon Conway be dropped?

The top order already has players like Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ayush Mhatre and now Sanju Samson. In such a situation, there is every possibility of Chennai Super Kings releasing Devon Conway. This New Zealand player was bought for Rs 6.25 crore in the IPL 2024 mega-auction. Releasing him will give the franchise an opportunity to sign a foreign middle-order batsman. Conway was excellent with the bat in IPL 2023 but failed to live up to expectations last season.

Rahul Tripathi’s bat did not work

Rahul Tripathi had a very bad IPL 2025 season. He scored only 55 runs in five matches and his strike rate was 96.49. He was bought for Rs 3.40 crore and was expected to play at number three, but he failed to live up to the expectations. CSK may release him to free up funds so that they can be invested in new players for the middle order.

Will Vijay Shankar also drop?

Like Rahul Tripathi, Vijay Shankar also could not prove his worth. There were a lot of expectations from Shankar while playing on his home ground, but he could score only 118 runs in 6 matches and his strike rate was 129.67. He scored a half-century against Delhi Capitals but apart from that his performance was disappointing. Shankar was bought in the auction for Rs 1.2 crore.

Will Mukesh Chaudhary be out?

Mukesh Chaudhary was bought for his base price of Rs 30 lakh. He was given two matches to prove his ability, but he failed. He took just one wicket and now there is every possibility of his release.

Deepak Hooda’s bat didn’t even work

CSK is planning to completely change its middle order, so Deepak Hooda is most likely to be released. He was bought for Rs 1.70 crore and got more chances than Vijay Shankar and Rahul Tripathi but he flopped miserably. This all-rounder scored only 31 runs in 7 matches and his strike rate was 75.60.
