Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have built a formidable squad for IPL 2025, combining their retained core of experienced campaigners with exciting new acquisitions from the mega auction. The team’s strategy focused on blending all-rounders, specialist bowlers, and power-packed batters to create a well-rounded unit. 

 

CSK's key buys in IPL 2025 auction 

CSK’s biggest auction buy was Afghan spinner Noor Ahmad, acquired for Rs 10 crore. Known for his ability to trouble batters with his left-arm wrist spin, Noor will add a fresh dimension to CSK's bowling attack. The return of veteran spinner Ravichandran Ashwin for Rs 9.75 crore is another highlight, bringing leadership and experience to the side.

 

New Zealand’s reliable batter Devon Conway was secured for Rs 6.25 crore, providing stability at the top of the order. Indian left-arm pacer Syed Khaleel Ahmed, bought for Rs 4.80 crore, strengthens CSK's pace attack, while all-rounder Rachin Ravindra, acquired for Rs 4 crore, adds depth to the team with his dual skills.

 

Uncapped players also featured prominently in CSK’s strategy, with Anshul Kamboj and Gurjapneet Singh being bought for Rs 3.40 crore and Rs 2.20 crore, respectively. Both players bring fresh energy and talent to the squad.
