CSK lost its return fixture against the Mumbai Indians. Here, we take a look at the ideal CSK playing 11 that the management must target for the remaining matches of IPL 2025.
Openers: Rachin Ravindra and Shaik Rasheed could continue in the CSK playing 11
Though Rachin has been poor, it is better to back him. He is filled with potential, and if he does well, CSK can retain him for the future.
Middle-Order: Ayush Mhatre, Dewald Brevis, Shivam Dube and MS Dhoni (C&WK)
Ayush has started his CSK career well. Brevis will surely add impact while Dube and MS Dhoni must be the power-hitters for the team.
All-Rounders: Ravindra Jadeja must be a key part of the CSK playing 11
Jaddu must add more value to the side. Now, he is inconsistent in both departments, which is hurting the side a lot.
Bowlers: Anshul Kamboj, Noor Ahmed, Khaleel Ahmed and Matheesha Pathirana
CSK must stick with this attack for the rest of the season. If Pathirana is very unfit, Nathan Ellis can get a game for the franchise.
Impact Player: R Ashwin or Vijay Shankar
Depending on the situation of the game and whether the side is batting first or second, one of these two Tamil Nadu players can come in as the Impact Player.
