The Chennai Super Kings finished last in the previous season of the IPL, and they desired to make several changes to their core squad. One of the major changes came in the form of Ravindra Jadeja's trade and Matheesha Pathirana's release from the team.
The inclusion of Sanju Samson raised several questions within the CSK camp and the franchise's fans. The first and foremost confusion was whether Samson would be handed the captaincy and Ruturaj Gaikwad would be snubbed.
As of now, Robert Fernandez, a player scout who was part of Sanju Samson's Kerala Cricket League team, the Kochi Blue Tigers, has joined the Chennai Super Kings as a new talent scout for CSK. He was part of the team that won the KCL this season.

CSK is most likely to target seasoned spinners in the mega-auction
Yet, Chepauk being their home ground, the Super Kings have relished playing with as many spinners in the XI as possible. CSK have hence been reported to be citing spinners like Vignesh Puthur and Karn Sharma, as they already have a lack of spinners.
IPL 2026 might be MS Dhoni's last season for CSK
Ever since MS Dhoni retired from international cricket back in 2020, a buzz around his final season in the IPL has made rounds on social media ahead of the IPL season. MS Dhoni has been part of CSK's camp since IPL 2008, the inaugural season, when he signed the first-ever contract for the Super Kings.
However, now for two seasons, Maharashtra skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad has been awarded captaincy for the CSK team, and he is likely to continue, with no new developments around Sanju Samson. As per unofficial reports, this will be MS Dhoni's last season as a player with CSK.
