Csk should have kept Rachin. He does some spin bowling. Or should have kept Conway. He can be a back up wicket keeper.

They will spend too much on some spinner s the end.

Should have released Jamie overtun instead of Conway.

Anyway, it's been a bad day bad season for Sanju for long... Probably uske bhaagye CSK mein khul jaayein. He anyway is a good player. I don't wanna write off Sanju, it's just that letting Jaddu go breaks my heart. 💔

Kasi man why didnt you release Dhoni?

Till the day Dhoni retires, he'll be playing in CSK only. That's something Mahi has said more than a couple of times -- also it's not even about Dhoni. CSK, not just a team but also a franchise, is heavily reliant on him, as a player and as a captain. Makes me wonder, what happens when he retires? Will CSK also retire from IPL ?

What’s the update

Other franchises might have other players to look forward to in case their brand face cricketer retires, but CSK absolutely has none. It could have been Jaddu next after Dhoni, but he's gone elsewhere. Or probably Raina, who has also collected lots of accolades for CSK. But now no one is, and the day CSK releases Dhoni, they'll lose a brand face of their franchise and a few people like me would eventually stop investing time in IPL. Till date my interest remains only till CSK is in the contest, uske baad I don't even care which teams win IPL, despite the fact that I am an avid cricket viewer.

So, in the nutshell, Dhoni is that inactive asset for the team which they are passively keeping with them because without his name and face, the franchise is almost ignored.

They've got a wicket keeper in Samson. He's a way steady wicket keeper.

Yes can't bear that fact

Jaddu is meant for CSK

But captaincy is not meant for everyone. He'll come back after a season or two... That's what I think.

Rutu s only the captain for CSK. Sanju will be backup captain.

Wonder if MS will play if Sanju is the wicket keeper.

Sanju may have been scared that he may be bought by KKR if he goes to auction, even though he would have got more money.

So he wanted CSK and wanted a break from RR.
