CSK IPL 2025: Chennai Super Kings Squad, Complete Schedule and Timings: Five-time Indian Premier League (IPL) champions Chennai Super Kings are looking to secure another title for their trophy winning list. However, the path to victory won’t be easy as they face Mumbai Indians in the highly anticipated El Clasico at Chepauk stadium on March 23, 2025 for their opening match.
All eyes will once again be on the iconic superstar Mahendra Singh Dhoni, as speculation grows over whether this could be his final IPL season. Similar rumours have followed MS Dhoni for the past few years, but the former CSK captain Dhoni continues to handle them with the same cool attitude he shows in high-pressure matches on the field. The team will be led by Ruturaj Gaikwad, whom Dhoni handpicked before the 2024 season. The young captain will be aiming to guide CSK to the Play-offs this year after narrowly missing out last season.
CSK retained their core players, including Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ravindra Jadeja, Matheesha Pathirana, Shivam Dube, and Dhoni, ahead of last year’s IPL auction. They successfully brought back Rachin Ravindra and Devon Conway after initially releasing them. The team also made some smart acquisitions, adding Ravichandran Ashwin, Rahul Tripathi, and Sam Curran to strengthen their squad.
