CSK are unlikely to release any big player ahead of IPL 2027.
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) had a poor run in IPL 2026, finishing 8th in the points table with 6 wins in 14 matches. The Super Kings lost their first three matches against Rajasthan Royals, Punjab Kings, and Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
Later, they won six of their next eight games and were expected to secure a playoffs spot if they continued the momentum. However, their dreams ended after they lost the last three matches.
CSK have failed to secure a play-off spot in the last three editions, and they are currently the joint-most successful team in IPL history, alongside the Mumbai Indians, with five titles. Thus, they are keen to make a strong comeback in IPL 2027.

Sanju Samson was CSK’s leading run-scorer last season, scoring 477 runs in 14 matches. He also scored two centuries and one fifty, becoming the only player to score more than 400 runs for the Super Kings. Captain Ruturaj Gaikwad scored just 337, while Shivam Dube accumulated 270 runs.
Last season, only Sanju impressed with his batting. If the Super Kings want to secure a spot in the playoffs next season, the other batters will also need to score runs. Therefore, CSK will need to consider further strengthening their batting in the auction.
Anshul Kamboj took the most wickets for CSK, but his economy was concerning. Kamboj picked 21 wickets with an economy of 10.52.
The other two players to take more than 10 wickets for the five-time champions were Jamie Overton (14) and Noor Ahmad (13). Meanwhile, their five highest wicket-takers’ economy rate was over 8.
The five-time champions have already traded Nathan Ellis and Khaleel Ahmed to Sunrisers Hyderabad in exchange for Liam Livingstone and Jack Edwards. CSK missed MS Dhoni last season, and now fans want to see him in the 2027 season.
