Chennai Super Kings retained players list for IPL 2021

Chennai Super Kings released 6 players from their side ahead of IPL 2021. MS Dhoni’s side had a disappointing campaign the last time out as they failed to make the playoffs for the first time in history.

As a response, they have released a total of 6 players, while retaining the rest of their squad. Piyush Chawla, Kedar Jadhav, M Vijay, Harbhajan Singh, Monu Kumar Singh, and Shane Watson have all been released by the Chennai Super Kings ahead of IPL 2021.

Shane Watson retired from all forms of cricket after last year’s campaign. Meanwhile, Harbhajan Singh opted out of IPL 2020 for personal reasons. The rest of the players failed to perform to expectations with the Chennai Super Kings opting to part ways with them as a result.

The side, however, has retained Suresh Raina. The batsman left the IPL bubble under controversial circumstances last year, but the Chennai Super Kings have stuck with him.
