IPL 2025: 3 Players Who Might Be Released by Chennai Super Kings (CSK)

Before the upcoming IPL season, the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) may make audacious decisions. Some familiar figures may be let go when team dynamics change. For the first time in their IPL history, CSK finished in 10th spot on the IPL points table.

Much of their failure was attributed to their poor performance in the IPL 2025 mega auction. CSK, continuing with their rigid ways, picked some players who were well past their prime and faced consequences. Ahead of the IPL 2026, CSK may let go of elderly stars or underachievers to rebuild for the future.

Here are the 3 players who might be released by Chennai Super Kings (CSK):

1. Rahul Tripathi

Rahul Tripathi had a difficult IPL 2025, managing just 55 runs at an average of 11.0 and a strike rate of 96.49 in 5 innings. With a maximum score of just 23, it was clear that he was unable to offer middle-order stability or acceleration. He was even tried as an opener, where he failed badly.

Even with constant support, Tripathi was unable to seize crucial opportunities and frequently faltered under duress. In order to invest in younger, more influential middle-order players, CSK may decide to let him go.

2. Deepak Hooda

With just 31 runs at an average of 6.20 in 7 games, Deepak Hooda had a disappointing IPL 2025 season for CSK. His performances were inconsistent and without purpose, and he didn't contribute much during intense pursuits.

His occasional off-spin was also misused, giving CSK few options. Hooda's release may help make room for a true all-around choice because of the low results in both categories. Hooda proved to be one of the worst picks for CSK in the IPL 2025 auction and is a prime candidate to be released soon.

3. Devon Conway

Making just 156 runs in 6 games and recording two fifties, Devon Conway had a quiet IPL 2025 with little else to show for his lack of consistency. Given the team's need for more explosive starts, his total performance did not support his status as a significant international pick.

He was also out of rhythm due to injury issues and inconsistent play, which made him a luxury CSK might not be able to afford next season. The team might decide on a more reliable and forceful international debut.
