CSK decided to retain five players and they will have Rs 55 crore purse to spend in the auction. Skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad and veteran all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja were both top retentions for the five-time champions.

Indian wicketkeeper batter Rishabh Pant and New Zealand's veteran Daryl Mitchell got the rewards of strong performances during the third Test in Mumbai as the two players have climbed to top 10 in latest ICC Test rankings released on Wednesday. After impressive half-centuries during the Test, Pant has climbed five spots to claim the sixth position in the Test Batter Rankings. This rise brings him close to his career-best ranking of fifth, which he last held in July 2022. Mitchell has also seen a substantial rise, climbing eight places to reach seventh overall after a first-inning score of 82 in Mumbai. He now joined his fellow New Zealander Kane Williamson, who holds the second position.
:New Zealand completed an unprecedented 3-0 series sweep in India as the Black Caps dismissed the hosts for 121 on a tricky wicket to secure a 25-run victory on day three of the third and final test in Mumbai on Sunday.
Ravichandran Ashwin was one of India's heroes on Day 2 of the third Test against New Zealand in Wankhede, picking up three wickets as the tourists went 9 down for 171 runs by stumps. Ashwin didn't look at his absolute best until the Mumbai Test but pulled up his socks as India took on the Kiwis in a must-win clash, from the World Test Championship perspective. Of the three wickets that Ashwin bagged on Saturday, the delivery to bamboozle Glenn Phillips was unarguably the most impressive.
