NEW DELHI: Chennai Super Kings have confirmed the retention of five key players ahead of the IPL 2025 auction scheduled for later this year, with captain Ruturaj Gaikwad and the iconic MS Dhoni leading the list.

CSK took to social media on Monday, sharing an image of Dhoni and Ruturaj with the caption: "The Lion Legacy."
