The report had claimed that Sam Curran, Deepak Hooda, Vijay Shankar, Rahul Tripathi, and Devon Conway would be released. But as it stands, there is nothing official about it. 

For the unversed, CSK is one of the most successful franchises in the history of the cash-rich league. The yellow brigade have won the silverware five times. After a season to forget in 2025, where the franchise won merely four matches - they would like to improve upon that. The final retention list, due by November 15, will reveal the actual extent of their squad reshuffle.
