IPL 2025: Beyond MS Dhoni – Key Players Who Can Lead CSK To Their Sixth Title

IPL 2025: Here's a look at five players Chennai Super Kings (CSK) is banking on to bring home the trophy in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025.

Chennai Super Kings (CSK), one of the most successful franchises in Indian Premier League (IPL) history, is aiming for a sixth title in IPL 2025. While MS Dhoni, retained as an uncapped player remains an iconic presence, CSK has shifted its focus to a core group of players expected to lead the charge.

Here's a look at five players CSK is banking on to bring home the trophy in IPL 2025:

Ravindra Jadeja, an integral part of the franchise since 2012, is an absolute game-changer with his all-round brilliance. Ge is a player CSK can't do without. With 2,959 runs and 160 wickets in 240 IPL games, Ravindra Jadeja remains an indispensable asset for Chennai Super Kings' 2025 campaign.

Shivam Dube has established himself as a match-winner in CSK's middle order. Renowned for his power-hitting, Dube has often been CSK's savior in pressure situations. With 1,502 runs in 65 IPL matches, including nine half-centuries and 101 sixes, CSK will rely on Dube to repeat his heroics in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025.

Ruturaj Gaikwad has seamlessly transitioned into his dual role as CSK's captain and opening batter. After taking over CSK's captaincy in 2024, he has shown his ability to lead from the front. With 2,380 runs in 66 matches, including two centuries and 18 half-centuries, Gaikwad's contributions as a batter and captain will be crucial for CSK's success in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025.

Sri Lanka's Matheesha Pathirana quickly established himself as an important part of Chennai Super Kings' bowling attack. His lethal yorkers and composure in the death overs have made him a go-to bowler for the team. Retained for Rs 13 crores, Pathirana has claimed 34 wickets in 20 IIPL matches, and his role will be crucial in restricting opposition batters in important moments.

Devon Conway has formed a formidable opening partnership with Gaikwad. Known for his ability to score quickly and build steady innings, the New Zealand star played a crucial role in CSK's 2023 title win. The star batter has so far scored 924 runs in 23 IPL matches with nine half-centuries.
