CSK should re brand their franchise and change their name into Chennai Retired Super King (CRSK). Close to 95% players are retired but as a team still, A force to reckon with.
It depends on their performances though. Fans usually remember player performances in a particular format when compared to their overall performances in all formats. For example, players like Chris Gayle are synonymous with IPL.
On the other hand, players like Pujara are synonymous with test cricket. Fans will still remember players in the IPL even after their retirement as long as they perform well.

Chris Gayle gradually lost his fan-base, when he refused to represent West Indies. And as of now, he is a part of the Kings XI Punjab but I am afraid that he may not receive a regular slot. At 40-years, he is not much older than Mahendra Singh Dhoni. But he is no longer considered as one of the IPL stars. The absence from the international scene has reduced his market value.
I agree with your opinion. This is why I love IPL way more than other leagues since we get to see our favorite players in action even after their retirement from international formats which previously wasn't the case.
I still remember watching Sachin, Sehwag etc play at the top of their game in the initial versions of the IPL. It somehow brings out the best versions of Cricketers in different aspects. People will pay even more attention now to the 1st game between CSK and MI.

This may be true to a certain extent. But from what I have seen, once the player retires from international cricket, his popularity takes a beating. Remember what happened to players such as Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid. IPL is a two month phenomenon and the hype won't last for the entire year. Also the fan support that these players get while playing for India is much greater than what they get while playing for the city-based teams.
May not be the case with legends because they have already done and made the country proud with their skills and whatever after their retirement from International cricket we will be witnessing will be bonus and surely as the age increases it is not going be same thing what was 10 years before. So expecting Dhoni hitting helicopter sixes like before is our assumption but reality is that it will not happen but witnessing them on field itself should be more than happy moments for the fans.
Good players do have a special place in the history. Somethings that done can't be undone. We can't compare the hard hitters at this time with the legend of old times.
It also depends on whom you asked. Every viewer has their age of crazy fan following and the one that shines at the peak of their fan following would always remain on their mind.
Personally, the tournament I watched with proper knowledge of cricket was since the 2003 world cup. Tendulkar, Ganguly, Pointing, Gilchrist and other contemporary players feels beloved to me than any new players.
Either with my change in personal preference or the change in cricket format, I'm less and less impressed by individual players. Dhoni seems to be the last indian player I loved to see playing.

Raina the way he has performed in IP could not deliver the same way in the ODI or T20 matches. He is no doubt he good batsman and part time can be used as bowler too. But somehow in recent years he has being in and out of the Indian team too much and always had to perform on the go as there are other members waiting for their chance to come in the team. Just a right decision considering the overall situation.

It would be better if he were decided the announcement after IPL,
. Or rather than playing IPL he played the WorldCup for the last time for his national team. I am scared about IPL now as glad he is atleast playing this time but next time he may not play. Also, the team wouldn't be the same without him as a captain.
He was probably planning for the World Cup, but it got postponed. He is not as fit as he was before, and it may be better for him to play less number of matches. Concentrating on the IPL will remove a lot of stress and strain. And I suspect that his difference in opinion with Virat Kohli may have also played its part. I have heard that these two had disputes in the past.
He may not be in the same form as earlier but still his experience is worth it. He has always been known for his captaincy more and he played well in earlier matches compared to the newbies. This pandemic changed things for him but I don't think he and Virat's controversy had anything to do with his decision. He's just 39 so did not want him to retire so soon.
Yes, Inhuries may be one of the reason for his early retirement and the other would be not getting to play enough. If this year IPL would have been in time then these players would have been able to show their performance and get selected for the T20 world cup or other tournaments.
Now the situation is completely different and will remain like this for some time now.

It's not just the injuries. There have been a lot of politics involved with the Indian team. There is a camp headed by N Srinivasan, consisting of most of the current and former CSK players such as Dhoni, Raina and Ashwin. On the other side there is a camp headed by Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, supported by Jay Shah/Anurag Thakur. As of now, it looks as if the latter group is having more power.
Two on India's finest players retiring on the same day all thanks to the Pandemic.
Suresh Raina has been unable to play regularly due to injury issues. And that was probably the reason why he retired from international cricket, which is more demanding. He is just 33 years old and nowadays most of the players retire when they are 40-42. He might have took the decision to reduce the workload, so that he could play in the IPL for a longer duration. Afterall, IPL salaries are manytimes higher than the contract fee for the national team.

Yes, Suresh Raina and Ms Dhoni retired from the international cricket but why we are linking it with Pandemic. The covid-19 pandemic has nothing to do with their retirement and it's their personal decision to say good bye to international cricket.
@Juggy777 BCCI is powerful but not powerful enough to dictate any bilateral series of other countries, CA and ECB are not dummy. 
The power of BCCI has become a fork story that majority believe that they could control any country setting up their series 
. It all comes down to business, India produces a much larger amount of money and if they are not playing against these teams they have the power and authority to make any series possible to keep the ball running as they have media obligation to produce matches just like the BCCI having obligations with the IPL and other series to generate revenue.I believe you know how legends from Indian cricket had their retire? I can't remember anyone having a good retire at all. Nevertheless, MSD deserves a better retire but what makes his mind to retire now? He could have played some matches and go for retire.
It was evident that MSD was not getting any support from the team members especially the captain and the selectors about giving him any farewell series and MSD thought it was better to call it quits rather than hanging in there and getting embarrassed if he is not selected for the next series. @JSRAW yea 5 ODI and T20 each is bit to much to watch between the same teams, and limiting this series will make it more entertaining and competitive at the same time. Furthermore I don’t know much about the UAE quarantine rules, but considering it’s IPL I wouldn’t be surprised if those player’s were allowed to skip the mandatory quarantine period, not saying that it’ll 100% happen but then again there’s always a possibility of it happening because of BCCI involvement.
The players may or may not be allowed to skip the quarantine rules. But keep in mind that this is the first major tournament since a long time. 8 teams are taking part. If you add the players, net bowlers, support staff.etc, the total contingent from each team would amount to at least 50-60 individuals. It is upto the team, whether they want to take the risk by skipping the quarantine rules for one or two players.

Freaking crazy news indeed. I never expected Raina and MSD to retire simultaneously today, but expect the unexpected as they say. I feel really sad to see my favorite Indian player of all time(MSD) retire like this, but I hope he continues playing in the IPL for the next couple of years.
I believe you know how legends from Indian cricket had their retire? I can't remember anyone having a good retire at all. Nevertheless, MSD deserves a better retire but what makes his mind to retire now? He could have played some matches and go for retire. Considering that he retired from Test cricket by the end of 2014, announcing his retirement from international cricket after nearly 6 years doesn't really come as a surprise to me tbh. Raina also have announced his retirement tonight.
MSD retired from Test cricket because of a battle with the selectors but he was pursuing his career in the shorter format and he should get a proper farewell because of his contribution as a captain winning all the major tournaments leading from the front, he is physically fit even though he is around 39 and the extension of the World Cup might have changed his mind.

Above article is a great tribute for the legend himself. According to me and many others, MSD is the greatest cricketer of all time.

Why why why??? Can't believe Dhoni announced his retirement so early before the T20 WC. So disappointed that now IPL is the last then. Next year he may stop playing for IPL too. I so hate not seeing him
