Chennai Super Kings (CSK) has retained four players for IPL 2025. In such a situation, all eyes will be on who the team will add to its team in the mega auction. To strengthen the team, the franchise can include more and more experienced players in the camp.
Many old players are going to be seen in the IPL 2025 mega auction, for whom there can be a war between the teams to buy them. Chennai Super Kings can also play a big bet on many such players. So let’s know about those 3 old players for whom CSK will be ready to spend money….
CSK can buy these three players in IPL 2025 mega auction
Karun Nair
Karun Nair was bought by LSG last season . But he did not get a chance to play even a single match. The chances of someone buying him in the mega auction are very low. Because his performance in IPL has not been very good. In such a situation, the chances of someone buying Karun are very low. But Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will definitely bet on him.
Because Karun is an opening batsman as well as a wicketkeeper. In such a situation, Chennai can bet on him. Because they are looking for such a player. If we talk about his IPL career, Karun Nair has scored 1496 runs in 68 innings in IPL at an average of 23.74.
R Ashwin
Veteran off-spinner R Ashwin is a great player. But he is a bit weak in T20. This is the reason why Rajasthan Royals did not retain him. Because he was not in their top list. But Chennai Super Kings (CSK) can include Ashwin in their team. It is known that Ashwin started his IPL career by playing for Chennai.
If we talk about why Chennai can take Ashwin, then CSK’s home ground MA Chidambaram Stadium is a spin friendly ground. Everyone knows how much advantage spinners get here. This is the reason why Chennai can bet on Ashwin. Ashwin has so far taken 180 wickets in 212 matches in IPL and scored 800 runs.
Manish Pandey
Manish Pandey is one of those names in Team India who was once considered to be Virat Kohli’s replacement. But now his career graph has gone down so much that leave alone Team India, even Chennai Super Kings (CSK) is thinking a lot about taking him in the IPL team. This is the reason why last year KKR gave him a chance in just 1 match.
But now Chennai Super Kings can bet on him in the mega auction. Because the team is looking for a middle order batsman. If we look at Manish’s IPL performance, Manish has scored 3,850 runs in 171 matches so far.
