CSK would need quite a few reinforcements at the next auctions. Here, we take a look at the list of three players CSK bid for in the IPL 2025 Auctions and might target again for IPL 2026.
Note: This list consists of players who are likely to be released by their current outfits before the IPL 2026 Auctions.
1) Tushar Deshpande
The Mumbaikar had a tough run at RR. Since he is on a high salary, the franchise might release him. For the seasons he has had at CSK, the management could try to get him back.
2) Liam Livingstone can be a target for CSK in the IPL 2026 Auctions
Liam Livingstone could not do well for RCB in IPL 2025. He could be released by the team now. Nevertheless, there will still be demand for the English all-rounder. At CSK, there could be more demand because the side needs someone like him to finish games and, if needed, offer a few overs with the ball. CSK had him on the wishlist for IPL 2025 and could target him again.
3) Glenn Maxwell
You could never rule out CSK from making such a bold move. People usually bring their careers back on track at CSK. Maxi could use this platform to become consistent in the IPL again.
