3 players CSK might release ahead of IPL 2024

2. Dwaine Pretorius

Pretorius joined CSK during the mega auction in 2022 and was a part of the squad in a successful stint the very next year as well. The South African all-rounder was included in the side as a replacement for Dwyane Bravo. However, over time, it looks like CSK might not need his services.

In 2022, Pretorius played six games and scored 44 runs with an impressive strike rate of 157.14. Adding on, he had managed to pick six wickets for the side as well. However, in 2023, MS Dhoni never included him in the side, as he got only one opportunity. This depicts that the management has fixed their playing XI for the long run.

The main issue with Pretorius as a player for CSK is that he is an overseas player. And currently, the management will not change the perfect combination for a new season given the fact that no mega auction is going to take place. Therefore, it looks like it is time for Pretorius to find a new franchise that will help him grow as a cricketer.
