MS Dhoni's Batting Promotion, Rs 10 Crore Star Fired: Ambati Rayudu's Top CSK XI for the 2025 IPL

In 2025, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will play in the Indian Premier League (IPL) with the goal of becoming the first club to win six championships. Ruturaj Gaikwad will lead CSK, which underwent a major reorganization after the IPL 2025 big auction.

Using the Right-to-Match (RTM) option, CSK spent the maximum money at the auction on Afghanistan spinner Noor Ahmad, paying Rs 10 crore for him.

Ambati Rayudu, a former CSK player who won three titles with the team, decided not to include him in his recommended CSK starting XI for the 2025 Indian Premier League. Additionally, Rayudu recommended that MS Dhoni take a different role.
