Chennai Super Kings IPL 2025: SWOT Analysis
Strengths: CSK always had a strong batting line-up, and finishers like former captain MS Dhoni and Ravindra Jadeja have always played the role of finishers very well. With Ruturaj Gaikwad leading the side and all-rounders like Shivam Dube and Rachin Ravindra in the squad, the team looks strong with its batting order.
Weakness: CSK has a new captain in Ruturaj Gaikwad. Though the right-handed batter captained the side in 2024, his lack of experience played a huge role in CSK’s departure from the playoffs race. Apart from captaincy, CSK doesn’t have a strong pace bowling attack for the upcoming season. Matheesha Pathirana and Khaleel Ahmed will head the pace bowling line-up for the forthcoming season.
Opportunities: The IPL 2025 will be an opportunity for Ruturaj Gaikwad to prove himself as a worthy leader. His captaincy in 2024 was decent, but a great run of CSK in 2025 will solidify his position as a captain.
Threats: CSK’s heavy reliance on its batting lineup can be a cause of concern as if batters don’t perform well, it will bring trouble for the five-time champions.
CSK, IPL 2025: Best Playing XI
Ruturaj Gaikwad (c), Devon Conway, Rachin Ravindra, Sam Curran, Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, MS Dhoni (wk), R. Ashwin, Matheesha Pathirana, Khaleel Ahmed, Noor Ahmad.
