CSK and LSG play at similar venues. Hence, there could be a few players who could switch sides before the next season. On that note, here, we take a look at the list of three LSG players whom CSK might target in IPL 2025 Auctions.
Note: We have considered players who are likely to be released by LSG.
1) Deepak Hooda
Deepak Hooda is a fantastic player of spin. He himself offers a bit of off-spin. This makes him a solid replacement for Moeen Ali. Hence, CSK must prioritize his signing.
Yes, he may be inconsistent but it is at a franchise like CSK where players such as Deepak get back to their best form. CSK needs some consistency at No.3 and they can rely on someone like Deepak to deliver that.
2) M Siddharth
M Siddharth is one of the LSG players whom CSK might target in IPL 2025 Auctions. He is from Tamil Nadu and has played a lot at Chepauk. With his control and accuracy, the youngster was very good in IPL 2024.
While Ravindra Jadeja will be the lead spinner, CSK must groom a backup and also a second option. This is where Siddharth can be a realistic target for the side. He could be a very intelligent investment for the side.
3) Naveen Ul Haq
It is more about what he brings to the table that the Afghan will be suitable for CSK. He has a lot of variations and especially with his slower-ball variations, he could be a very big hit at Chennai.
Matheesha Pathirana will be the lead overseas pacer. With his injury record, the team will need a second option and also depth. Naveen will be a fantastic signing in this regard. The Super Kings’ owners have already hired him for their other sides.
