Chennai Super Kings have reportedly finalised their five retentions. MS Dhoni will be retained for Rs 4 crore while Ruturaj Gaikwad and Ravindra Jadeja will also stay with the franchise. Dhoni will be retained in the uncapped category.

Chennai Super Kings have a contentious decision on their hands when it comes to deciding who gets more between Ruturaj Gaikwad and Ravindra Jadeja.
