Stronger csk playing 11 more impact players' options for IPL 2025 feet Rachin Ravindra and Khaleel Ahmed


The Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are scheduled for the 2025 season of the Premier League Indian League (IPL). The yellow men will face the Mumbai (MI) Indians in the first game of the competition on Sunday, March 23.

CSK, who missed the playoffs last year, will be interested in returning to their best form. They have set up a decent template and have some options to choose in different departments. A team that is known to choose a group of players and supports them, Super Kings may not leave too much in the air.

CSK's Squad for IPL 2025: Ruturaj Gaikwad, Rahul Tripathi, Shaik Rasheed, Deepak Hoda, Andre Siddarth, Devon Conway, Ms Dhoni, Vansh Bedi, Ravindra Jadeja, Shivam Dube, r Ashwin, Sam Curran, Ravindra Shankar, Ashul KambojJamie Overton, Ramakrishna Ghosh, Noor Ahmad, Shreyas Gopal, Matheesha Pathirana, Khaleel Ahmed, Kamlesh Nagarkoti, Mukesh Chudhary, Gurjapneet Singh, Nathan Ellis.

In this note, here is CSK's strongest XI, apart from a few impact player options, for IPL 2025.


Operators: Rachin Ravindra and Ruturaj Gaikwad (C)

Devon Conway has served well for the team over the years and has been signed for a higher price than Rachin Ravindra, but CSK surely cannot make the Trophy Champions Trophy tournament. Although Conway has an excellent understanding with Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ravindra is a more dynamic player who can also contribute to the ball and must be supported.

There is a merit for Gaikwad Batting in the middle order, but may intend to make a statement to PowerPlay. A batter that has often been criticized for its intention, the Skipper CSK can be a destructive opener if he decides to be.


Average Order: Rahul Tripathi, Shivam Dube, Sam Curran, Ravindra Jadja, MS Dhoni (WK)

The new Rahul Tripathi signing should go to No. 3, with Shivam Dube playing his usual medium -sized role. The duo will need to counteract the opposition spinners well in Chepauk.

Sam Curran will serve as a front -line first line during the IPL 2025, given its capacity with the bat and its ability to overturn the phases. He was able to beat at number 5, although there is a good chance that the Super Kings will want to bring an impact player to beat ahead.

Ms. Dhoni and Ravindra Jadja, who are known to finish the tickets against the rhythm, will round the average order.


Lower Order: Ravichandran Ashwin, Noor Ahmad, Matheesha Pathirana, Khaleel Ahmed

Chennai is ready for the field of three front -line spinners at IPL 2025, with the new acquisitions Ravichandran Ashwin and Noor Ahmad were associated with Jadja in the attack. Noor's ability to do the phases should allow the five times champions to adhere to their forces and do not care too much about the number of rhythm options of their XI.

Matheesha Pathirana will direct the rhythm attack again, while CSK should choose Khaleel Ahmed on Ansel Kamboj, Gurjapneet Singh, Mukesh Chudhary and Kamlesh Nagarkoti because of his superior experience and a more versatile skill.


Impact Player Options: Vijay Shankar, Ashul Kamboj, Deepak Hoda

If the CSK wants an additional pacer, especially outside the house, they could take Kamboj, which has been excellent in the domestic cricket and for India A.

The most likely route is that Chennai will show, providing Deepak Hoda or Vijay Shankar, especially while chasing. Shankar, as the best player of the rhythm, should be the striker right now.
