IPL 2025: CSK Team Analysis, Possible11, Full Squads
Updated - 20-MAR-2025 5:32 IST

The Chennai Super Kings (CSK), a team known for its consistency and success in the Indian Premier League (IPL), are hoping to win a record-tying sixth championship in the 2025 season. With Ruturaj Gaikwad leading the team for the second straight season as captain, CSK hopes to improve on their fifth-place result from the previous tournament.
SWOT Of Chennai Super Kings
Strengths
- Skilled Management: Captain Ruturaj Gaikwad benefits greatly from MS Dhoni's presence, which provides priceless experience and strategic insight.
- Multitasking Depth: CSK has a flexible team that can adjust to different match situations thanks to players like Shivam Dube, Sam Curran, and Ravindra Jadeja.
Weaknesses
- Pace Bowling Issues: Khaleel Ahmed and Mukesh Choudhary's pace attack could not have the express pace of other teams, which could reduce their success on faster wickets.
- Old Core: Given the tournament's demanding schedule, depending too much on seasoned players like MS Dhoni and Ravichandran Ashwin may be difficult in high-pressure games.
Opportunities
- Rising Talents: Young players with the ability to make a big difference, like Sheikh Rasheed and Noor Ahmad, might secure their positions on the squad.
- Spin-Friendly Conditions: CSK's potent spin squad may benefit from home games at Chennai's MA Chidambaram Stadium, which is known for its spin-friendly ground.
Threats
- Injury Risks: The health of key players will be important; missing them might throw off the team's performance and balance.
- Tough Rivalry: During the season, rival teams have added to their squads, creating serious threats.
