Let's take a look at how Chennai Super Kings fared in the IPL 2025 Mega Auction and gauge the perfect probable XI for the upcoming season.

With a purse of Rs 55 crore going into the two-day Indian Premier League (IPL) auction at the Abadi Al Johar Arena in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, the five-time champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) didn't have much room to play with when it came to spending big.

The captain of Chennai Super Kings in 2025 is Ruturaj Gaikwad. Under his leadership, CSK continues its legacy of success, having previously won 5 IPL titles. The team was earlier led by the legendary MS Dhoni, who remains one of the most iconic captains in IPL history.
