Key strategies CSK might consider ahead of IPL 2025 mega auction

CSK team strategy

CSK will be looking to strengthen its squad to make it more balanced.

CSK hunt for wicket-keeper

They would be looking someone to groom under MS Dhoni

CSK spin combination

They will try to get their spin combination right with trying to take R Ashwin or any other quality spinner, if given opportunity.

CSK replacing Sameer Rizvi

They might release him since he is way too costly and try to get 2-3 different domestic players with that budget

CSK pace gun

They might go for a quick pacer, probably a foreign player

CSK going for big-hitters

They might go for finishers since MSD can't be there for long now

CSK scouting for new talent

They might look to groom 2-3 more players who can be their future stars.

CSK giving more freedom

Captain Ruturaj Gaikwad might be given more freedom and would be looking to choose his combination right.
