After Jadeja’s trade, MS Dhoni’s Chennai Super Kings could target THESE players in the IPL auction 2026

One of the successful franchises of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Chennai Super Kings released their 9 star players, including two big trades of all-rounders Ravindra Jadeja and Sam Curran.

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have won 5 times in the Indian Premier League. In 2010, 2011, 2018, 2021 and 2023. However, all the titles comes under MS Dhoni. Here are the likely players Chennai might target in the upcoming IPL auction.

1. Andre Russell:

Star West Indies player and one of the most dominating players in the Indian Premier League. Andre Russell got released from Shah Rukh Khan’s Kolkata Knight Riders after 12 years. Chennai Super Kings might target Russell as they traded their best all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja for Sanju Samson. This could be the best opportunity for CSK to grab the best in the team.

2. Liam Livingstone:

England star player and one of the most brutal batters in the Indian Premier League. Liam Livingstone got released from last year’s IPL champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru. The Chennai Super Kings might target Livingstone at an auction as they traded Sam Curran and need a good all-rounder. This could be the best chance for them to add Livingstone to the team.

3. Jake Fraser-McGurk or Prithvi Shaw:

Chennai Super Kings released their star opening batter, Rachin Ravindra. After the exit of Ravindra, Chennai needed an opening batter. Who can score some good runs for the team. There are 2 players who might be a perfect fit for the team. Jake Fraser-McGurk and Prithvi Shaw. McGurk last season did not go well as he did not get one more opportunity to play for Delhi Capitals in another edition. However, the same goes for Prithvi Shaw. He also unsold in last year’s auction. CSK might target these players in the upcoming occasion.

4. Anrich Nortje:

Star South Africa pacer and one of the great players in the Indian Premier League. Anrich Nortje, who got released from Shah Rukh Khan’s Kolkata Knight Riders, might get the chance to showcase his skills in MS Dhoni’s Chennai Super Kings as the franchise dropped their key player, Mathessa Pathirana and is looking for a fast bowler. Nortje might be the perfect fit for the team.
