Chennai Super Kings - Dwayne Bravo
Players retained: MS Dhoni, Suresh Raina, Ravindra Jadeja

CSK are undoubtedly the most followed team in the IPL. The team have a huge fan-base and command unprecedented respect. Moreover, prior to their two-year suspension, CSK were the most successful team in the competition.
Unsurprisingly, the Madras-based team went ahead and retained the former India captain. Dhoni will now lead a side that will have the likes of Suresh Raina and Ravindra Jadeja in their ranks. However, a vital player missing is Dwayne Bravo.
Bravo has been a legend of sorts for CSK. The West Indian single-handedly won them numerous matches during his time with the team. Bravo is an expert death bowler as well. During his stay at CSK, he developed a set of variations that saw him become the best bowler in this format of the game.
It is likely that he will be bought by CSK using their RTM card.
