Chennai Super Kings Likely Playing 11: Every team has geared up for IPL 2025. All the teams spent a lot of money to buy dreaded players in the auction of the 18th season. However, Chennai Super Kings has focused more on work than name. If you see the Chennai team, you will not see many big names in it. Anyway, this is an years old formula of Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Chennai has been showing faith in Indian players since the beginning. This time the franchise has done the same. For this reason, you will not find the possible playing eleven of Chennai Super Kings very dangerous.
It has become clear that captain Ruturaj Gaikwad and Devon Conway will open the innings in IPL 2025. For this reason, Conway was the first to be bought by the franchise and paid a huge amount of Rs 6.25 crore. However, they also have Rachin Ravindra in the team as their reserve. Rahul Tripathi can be seen playing at number three.
After this, if we talk about middle order, Shivam Dubey is certain to play at number four. Deepak Hooda can be seen playing at number five. He also bowls off spin. After this Sam Curran and Ravindra Jadeja can be seen playing. Then MS Dhoni will be seen in the same role as last season. This time Anna has returned to the team. Chennai has bought Ashwin for Rs 9.75 crore.
Khalil Ahmed and Mathisha Pathirana can be seen in action in fast bowling. Pathirana has been retained by the franchise. Whereas Khalil was bought in the auction for Rs 4.80 crore. This season, Chennai team can keep only three foreign players in the playing eleven. However, if needed, a foreign player can come as an impact player. Who will be the impact player will depend on the conditions of the match.
Probable playing eleven of Chennai Super Kings- Ruturaj Gaikwad (captain), Devon Conway, Rahul Tripathi, Shivam Dubey, Deepak Hooda, Ravindra Jadeja, Sam Curran, MS Dhoni (wicketkeeper), Ravichandran Ashwin, Khaleel Ahmed and Mathisha Pathirana.
