1) Chennai Super Kings

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) is the defending champions, They have a relatively simple journey when it comes to choosing which players to retain ahead of the mega auction. CSK will rebuild the team by keeping the main players along with them. This time Chennai Super Kings will focus on the Young players who can perform better under the captainship of MS Dhoni.

The franchise would retain Ruturaj Gaikwad because he is young and was instrumental in their road to becoming the champions in this season. Ravindra Jadeja is a vital cog in the CSK setup and thus, he would be another sure shot retention. Last but not the least, the former Proteas captain Faf Du Plessis would mostly be the overseas player who they choose to retain
