IPL 2025: What will happen for the first match CSK playing XI, who will open with Gaikwad – India tv hindi

The bugle of IPL 2025 is now just 7 days. In the first match of the tournament, defending champion Kolkata Knight Riders will face Royal Challengers Bangalore. At this time all the teams are busy preparing their respective preparations. This time every team is going to be seen in a new form. It will be interesting to see which players are included in the playing 11 of the teams. Meanwhile, we will tell you what can be the best playing XI of Chennai Super Kings for the upcoming season. This season he can give a chance to which players in their playing XI. In 2024, Ruturaj, who became the captain of CSK for the first time, missed a place in the CSK playoffs led by Gaikwad, but this season he would like to leave an impression in his captaincy. Overall, he has a good team for this season. Gaikwad has a team that can win the title of this season.

Will MS Dhoni play as an impact player?

Before the start of the season, everyone’s mind is a question, on which number Dhoni will bat. Whether Dhoni is 40 years old or 43 years old, if he is in the team, it is certain that he will be part of the playing XI. Even though he is no longer a captain, but the opposition team gets scared in the team. Last year, he did a brilliant batting in the last overs and scored 161 runs in 14 matches at an average of 53 and a strike rate of 220. Some people believe that Dhoni can be used as an impact player, but it will be interesting to see captain Ruturaj Gaikwad.

These players set a chance

Apart from this, captain Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ravindra Jadeja and Ashwin are also considered to be confirmed in the playing XI. Ashwin will play for CSK after 10 years and would like to perform brilliantly there. In 121 matches for CSK, Ashwin has taken 120 wickets from an economy of 6.66. There will be a collision between the two Kiwi openers for the opening slot. It seems that Rachin Ravindra is slightly ahead of Devon Conway. Rachin is not only an explosive batsman of the top order, but he can also contribute to bowling. Rachin has so far scored an average of 22 in 10 IPL matches and 222 runs with a strike-rate of 160. However, he did not bowl much last year.

Fast bowling can become weakness for Chennai

As usual, CSK has the strongest spin bowling attack of the tournament for this season. But fast bowling is a department that can increase the tension of captain Gaikwad. Mathisha Pathirana will definitely lead the fast bowling attack, but it is difficult to say who will support them there. Sam Karan is an option, but then it has to be seen whether his place is made in the team as a foreign player. Anshul Kamboj and Gurjapneet Singh can also support him, while Jamie Overton is also an option. At the same time, Khalil Ahmed is also with him, which can prove to be dangerous on the Chennai pitch.
