Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will enter the IPL 2025 auction aiming to bolster their squad. While they had a strong lineup last season, there are still a few gaps to fill. With a budget of Rs 55 crore at the auction, here are the players CSK will target to strengthen their team for the upcoming season.
The IPL 2025 auction will take place on November 24 and 25 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, making it only the second time the auction has been held outside India. The previous auction in 2024 was held in Dubai. The two-day event is scheduled to start at 12:30 PM local time (3:00 p.m. IST) on November 24.
3 players CSK will look at buy in IPL 2025 mega auction
| Player | Role |
| Marcus Stoinis | batter |
| Jitesh Sharma | wicketkeeper batter |
| R Ashwin | spinner |
Marcus Stoinis
The Australian batting all-rounder has the ability to excel both at the top of the order and as a finisher. In addition to his batting skills, his medium pace and variations could be effective on the pitches at Chepauk.
Jitesh Sharma
After being released by PBKS, Jitesh expressed his interest in playing for either MI or CSK in future seasons. However, Punjab Kings might still use their Right to Match (RTM) card to retain him.If selected, he could contribute as a reliable finisher and serve as the team’s wicketkeeper if MS Dhoni’s fitness does not allow him to keep.
R Ashwin
The 38-year-old off-spinner, a former CSK player, has strong ties to Chennai. The next three years could be his final stint in the IPL, and his experience and guidance could play a key role in shaping the franchise’s future.
