Viswanathan told CSK TV that he is confident that the team under Dhoni’s leadership will “do well” in the upcoming edition.
A day after CSK announced the retained and released players ahead of the 2023 IPL, Vishwanathan said, “Obviously everyone knows that Thalaivan (MS Dhoni) is the one who is going to lead the team and he will give his best. Will do and the team will do well.” auction.
The Super Kings have signed Dwayne Bravo, Adam Milne, Chris Jordan, N.J. Jagadeesan, C. Hari Nishant, K. Bhagat Verma, KM Asif and Robin Uthappa have been released, who have announced their retirement.
Viswanathan said that it is really difficult to release players who have been part of CSK’s many winning campaigns, as the franchise is “very emotional with the players”.
“It’s a very tough decision as far as retention is concerned. As you know CSK has been very passionate with players, and they are also contributing so well to the franchise. While releasing for us It becomes very difficult to decide the players,” Viswanathan said.
“The contribution they have made for CSK will always be remembered and we know that yes, if any of them have the opportunity to come back, they will be back in CSK colours. Look, have a word for the fans That we expect to do well. We had a bad season and the next season we won (in 2021). Hopefully we will repeat the same (in 2023),” he said.
