Rahul Tripathi to Ravichandran Ashwin: Players Chennai Super Kings could release before IPL 2026
As the IPL 2026 mini auction approaches, Chennai Super Kings may look to fine-tune their squad. From Rahul Tripathi to Ravichandran Ashwin, here are the players who could be released ahead of the new season.
Rahul Tripathi may not play for Chennai Super Kings in the 2026 IPL. Although he was bought for ₹3.4 crore, his lackluster achievements this season may mean CSK moves on.
Deepak Hooda may be released by Chennai Super Kings before the IPL 2026 mini-auction begins. Acquired for ₹1.7 crore, Hooda's inconsistent middle-order performance may lead the team to seek alternative players.
Chennai Super Kings' IPL 2025 acquisition, Devon Conway, purchased for ₹6.25 crore, has underperformed this season. It is possible that the team will let him go before the mini-auction, hoping to get a different top batsman.
Vijay Shankar may get released by Chennai Super Kings before the tournament in 2026. Despite paying him Rs 1.2 crore, his small effect this season might cause him to move on.
Chennai Super Kings could decide to part ways with Ravichandran Ashwin ahead of the 2026 IPL season. Although he is one of the league's most expensive players, he hasn't performed well this year and might be cut from the team.

Bengaluru stampede: ‘Action against police looks like scapegoating,' Indian Police Foundation tells Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah
The Indian Police Foundation (IPF) – a group representing retired police personnel – has asked the Karnataka government to reinstate the police officers who have been suspended in the wake of the Bengaluru stampede. Eleven people died after a stampede occurred outside the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in the Karnataka capital during the victory celebrations of the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in this year's Indian Premier League (IPL). In a letter addressed to Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Monday, the IPF stated, 'The suspension of five police officers, including the Commissioner of Police, prior to the completion of a detailed investigation, has raised serious concerns within the professional policing community across the country. Actions taken without establishing individual responsibility would be seen as scapegoating rather than principled accountability and may have a demoralising effect on the entire police force, while undermining institutional integrity.' 'In the spirit of constructive engagement, the Indian Police Foundation offers to support the Government by conducting a Post-Incident Review and Analysis. This would be a non-adversarial, independent exercise, not intended for fault-finding, but focused on identifying systemic gaps, good practices, and actionable lessons to guide police operations and training. The IPF has in its membership a distinguished team of former DGPs, former civil servants, senior police leaders, forensic scientists, public safety experts, and academics who can undertake this exercise with neutrality, sensitivity, and professionalism,' the letter added. A day after the Bengaluru stampede, the state government had suspended Bengaluru Commissioner of Police B Dayananda, Additional Commissioner of Police (West) Vikash Kumar Vikash, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Central) Shekhar H Tekkannavar, ACP (Cubbon Park sub-division) C Balakrishna, and police inspector Girish A K on Thursday. Besides the Opposition, social media users have also flooded the government with requests to reinstate Dayananda.

Bengaluru stampede: IPS officer moves Central Administrative Tribunal challenging suspension
BENGALURU: Senior IPS officer Vikash Kumar Vikash, who was among the five officers suspended in connection with the stampede outside the Chinnaswamy Stadium, has moved the Central Administrative Tribunal challenging his suspension, official sources said on Monday. Vikash, who was the Additional Commissioner of Police (West), moved the tribunal last week, they said. The tribunal is likely to hear the matter in the days ahead, sources said. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on June 5 ordered the suspension of five officers, including those of the Circle Police Inspector of the Cubbon Park Police station A K Girish and Assistant Commissioner of Police C Balakrishna, Deputy Commissioner of Police of central division Shekhar H Tekkannavar, and Commissioner of Police Bengaluru city Dayananda. Defending the police suspensions, Siddaramaiah on Friday said prima facie those who have not fulfilled their responsibility properly have been suspended. The suspension order said, "It is found that there has been on the face of it substantial dereliction of duty by these officers." The stampede occurred on June 4 in front of the stadium, where a large number of people thronged to participate in the RCB team's IPL victory celebrations. Eleven people have died and over 50 people were injured in the incident.
