Most likely, MS Dhoni will retire after the end of IPL 2024. There are also reports that there would be a mega-auction before IPL 2025. Here, we take a look at the list of three wicket-keepers CSK can target in the IPL 2025 Mega Auction if MS Dhoni retires.
If there is a mega-auction, CSK would get a lot of choices in the auction. They could take the best pick to replace MS Dhoni in that case. We take a look at some of the options below.
1) Dhruv Jurel
Now that Dhruv Jurel is a capped cricketer, Rajasthan Royals may not be able to afford to retain him. The likes of Sanju Samson and Yashasvi Jaiswal are ahead in the race. For CSK, Dhruv Jurel will be the right choice. He has the credentials of a top finisher and some solid wicket-keeping skills. Considering his age, he can be a long-term investment for CSK.
2) Tristan Stubbs can be a target for CSK if MS Dhoni retires
Tristan Stubbs, despite the form that he is in, may not be retained by Delhi Capitals if there is a mega-auction. Although he is good against pace, he still has some scope for development against spinners. Nevertheless, in Stubbs, there is huge potential to be tapped. It can happen at CSK and hence, they can target a young player like Stubbs.
3) Robin Minz
Robin Minz is one of the wicket-keepers CSK can target in the IPL 2025 Mega Auction if MS Dhoni retires. Unfortunately, Robin Minz could not take part in IPL 2024 due to a motor accident. However, he is a talented cricketer and would surely command demand in the upcoming auctions. Hailing from Jharkhand, MS Dhoni might know more about this youngster and he might push for his signing.
