IPL heavyweights Chennai Super Kings (CSK) did not have an ideal season in IPL 2022. The team is now looking forward to IPL 2023 and will be keen on building a formidable squad with the best available options.
So, let’s take a look at which are the players that the Chennai Super Kings can release and the ones that are currently adding limited value to the team. The reasons for releasing can range from lack of form to disagreement with the management.
IPL 2023 Auction: 3 Players Which Can Be Released By Chennai Super Kings (CSK)
Robin Uthappa
Robin Uthappa belongs to an elite group of players who were a part of the ICC T20 World Cup victory in 2007. Uthappa still has a lot to offer. But he isn’t getting enough opportunities at CSK. The CSK management has not been consistent with Robin too.
His partnership with Shivam Dube has been etched in the minds of every cricket fan. One can never forget his style of walking down the track to a fast bowler and slamming him over the in-filed. Uthappa was good with those cross-bat shots too. He is 35+ which means that he brings in a lot of experience.
Mitchell Santner
The CSK management failed to make effective use of Mitchell Santner this season. They tried almost everything with him but couldn’t give him one role consistently. He walked out to bat at number 3 or number 4 in the initial few games. Later on, he was asked to bat lower down. When Moeen Ali was available, Santner was dropped. In the last game of the season, however, Santner got a chance. If he is not adding value to the Chennai Super Kings it is about time that the team must let him walk away.
Moeen Ali
There are very slim chances that Moeen Ali would be released. But the chances aren’t negligible. The reason is the lack of form of Moeen throughout the season. He did show signs of good touch in the final game but that was just about it. Moeen didn’t bowl many overs and also had a flat IPL 2022 with the bat. His injuries have always been a concern for the team. Moeen is a senior player as well and the CSK management had made the strategies around him. His absence in the initial few games cost them the entire season. This might also be the reason because of why the CSK management will be looking for a more reliable commodity.
