2. Ravindra Jadeja
Ravindra Jadeja is still an integral part of the Chennai Super Kings squad. He joined the franchise in 2012 for INR 9.8 crore and since then, the franchise never released him. The all-rounder was also named as CSK captain in the 2022 season after Dhoni stepped down but his record as a leader wasn’t great and following which, the cricketer decided to relinquish captaincy.
He was reported to have a fallout with Dhoni, and there were speculations of Jadeja leaving CSK. However, the franchise managed to convince the 35-year-old to continue and in the following season, Jadeja won them the trophy by scoring 10 runs off the last two deliveries in the final against Gujarat Titans.
Notably, he is also retained for INR 18 crore ahead of the IPL 2025. Overall, he has played 172 games in the CSK outfit in the IPL and scored 1897 runs at a strike rate of 136.18. With the ball, he has 146 wickets to his name for CSK. Jadeja also holds a unique IPL record as he is the only cricketer to score more than 2000 runs in the competition and pick 150 wickets. The Gujarat-born is also joint-third in the list of most catches by a non-wicketkeeper in the league's history.
