The five-time champions of the IPL, Chennai Super Kings, are doubtless heavyweights in the IPL. CSK won their last IPL trophy back in the 2023 edition as they defeated the Gujarat Titans in the final. Last year in the IPL, Chennai Super Kings were denied from entering the playoffs by RCB, also probably shattering a fairy-tale ending for veteran MS Dhoni. Ahead of the IPL 2025, Chennai Super Kings have accumulated a strong squad and are definitely one of the favourites to win the IPL this time around. Let us check out 3 reasons why Chennai Super Kings can win IPL 2025.
Reasons why CSK can win IPL 2025
Strong Leadership & Experience
CSK boasts seasoned players like MS Dhoni and Ravindra Jadeja, who bring invaluable experience and leadership to the team. MS Dhoni’s tactical acumen and Jadeja’s all-round capabilities can make a significant difference in crucial matches.
Balanced Squad
The team has a well-rounded squad with a mix of experienced players and promising young talents. The additions of Devon Conway, Rahul Tripathi, and Sam Curran during the mega auction have strengthened their batting and bowling lineup. Apart from the new additions, CSK also has the likes of Ruturaj Gaikwad, Shivam Dube, and Rachin Ravindra.
Effective Death Bowling
CSK has a reliable set of death bowlers, including Matheesha Pathirana and Khaleel Ahmed, who can effectively handle the pressure in the final overs. This can be a game-changer in close matches. In the past, we have also seen Dhoni use his spinners in death overs in Chepauk Stadium.
