Chennai Super Kings are all set to retain skipper MS Dhoni, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Ravindra Jadeja, while Delhi Capitals will keep Rishabh Pant as captain, along with him Anrich Nortje and Axar Patel will also keep their places. This means both the teams will let go of their middle-order mainstays. While Suresh Raina will be released from Chennai, Delhi will let go of Shreyas Iyer, according to a report in Indian Express.

Iyer would be dropped as he wanted to lead the side which wouldn’t be possible with Pant at the helm who has got some solid backing from the owners. Meanwhile, Raina was no longer the top choice with his form taking a huge dip in IPL 2020, the newspaper reported. The paper also confirmed that CSK are in negotiations with England’s Moeen Ali as the fourth retention. His spin can come in handy in India where IPL 2022 will be played next year in April. In case he declines, Sam Curran will be retained.
