IPL 2018: 5 big names who failed to get retained

2. Ravichandran Ashwin

Goodness Gracious! Ravichandran Ashwin in the auction will create a havoc during the bidding war. Unfortunately for Chennai Super Kings, they can’t use their Right to Match card to retain him. They already retained three Indian capped players, which denies them an opportunity to use the card for another capped Indian player.

Although Ashwin has been confining himself mostly to the longest format these days, he still is a match-winner in the limited-over formats. If CSK wants him, they will have to buy him and outbid their opponents, which will be incredibly difficult. He’s definitely one of the players to watch out for in the upcoming Auctions.
