Noor Ahmad
Deepak Hooda (All-rounder)
Rachin Ravindra (All-rounder)

CSK is expected to bolster their pace attack with additional signings or key players stepping up.

CSK had a disappointing IPL 2024 season, finishing fifth on the points table with seven wins and seven losses. Despite being tied on 14 points with fourth-placed RCB, CSK missed out on playoffs due to an inferior net run rate.
With IPL 2025 kicking off on March 22, CSK will look to start strong and reclaim their dominance under MS Dhoni’s leadership. Their first match is against Mumbai Indians (MI) on March 23 at home, setting the stage for an exciting rivalry.
