Chennai Super Kings are the only team that has played in 10 IPL finals, including 12 playoff appearances. They won the last edition and will enter the IPL 2024 as the defending champions. The MS Dhoni-led team will also feature in the tournament’s opener against Royal Challengers Bangaluru on March 22 at Chepauk Stadium in Chennai.
Chennai always takes a bet on the veteran players, which is certainly one reason that they have been pretty successful. However, in the last couple of seasons, three big CSK players have retired: Dwayne Bravo, Ambati Rayudu, and Robin Uthappa. That is likely to be a similar story in the IPL 2024. There are three CSK stars who might retire after the IPL 2024, about which we will talk here.
3. Moeen Ali
Veteran English all-rounder Moeen Ali is a key part of Chennai Super Kings in the IPL. He was part of the 2021 and 2023 winning CSK teams and has played a crucial role in both wins. His all-round skills make him a valuable asset for the team. However, the 36-year-old has reached the final stage of his career. There are high chances that he might make the decision to retire after the IPL 2024.
2. Ajinkya Rahane
Former Indian Test captain Ajinky Rahane will be another one who might decide to retire after the IPL 2024. The 35-year-old still has some cricket left in him, but his form in the coming season will decide a lot. Because after this season, there will be a mega auction, and CSK can only retain three players. Rahane’s chances to make a comeback in India are very minimal, and we might also see the last of him in the IPL.
1. MS Dhoni
The biggest name to retire from the IPL is MS Dhoni. Everyone thought that the 2023 edition was his last, and fans came in big numbers to cheer for him wherever he played. But after the final, he confirmed that he would play another season. Hence, the CSK captain, who is currently almost 42-year-old might hang his boots after the IPL 2024.
