IPL 2026: CSK should release MS Dhoni and target these three players ahead of auction
Let us take a look at three players CSK might target in the IPL 2026 auction to replace MS Dhoni.
1. Glenn Phillips
New Zealand’s Glenn Phillips is another wicketkeeper-batter who could fit perfectly into CSK’s batting order. In T20Is, he has 1,929 runs from 83 matches at a strike rate of 140.59, with two centuries and ten fifties. Across all T20s, Phillips has scored 6,810 runs in 270 games at an average of 31.82, with a strike rate of 140.29.
Despite limited IPL appearances, his T20 experience across leagues like MLC, CPL, and The Hundred makes him a valuable asset. Also a part-time off-spinner and a brilliant fielder, Phillips' all-round abilities will be crucial.
