Before the auction, every team was allowed to retain a maximum of 3 players. CSK decided to retain MS Dhoni, Suresh Raina, and Ravindra Jadeja.

Ravindra Jadeja was the third choice player and retained for ₹7 crores. Ravindra Jadeja has been instrumental in CSK's performance in the IPL ever since his debut in 2012.

In recent times, Ravindra Jadeja suffered a side strain and, is advised to rest from BCCI. It is yet to be confirmed if Jadeja’s injury could play a factor in his ability to play in the tournament. Regarded as a vital cog in CSK's line-up and, if he misses the initial stages of the competition, it could hamper CSK's performances.
