**Chennai, India** – The Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have unveiled their revamped squad for the upcoming IPL 2025 season, marking a transition era following MS Dhoni’s retirement from captaincy. While retaining their iconic captain for a modest Rs 4 crore (thanks to a new IPL rule allowing veteran Indian players to be classified as uncapped), CSK have invested heavily in bolstering their team.

Star all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja remains a cornerstone of the team, retained for a hefty Rs 18 crore, along with captain Ruturaj Gaikwad (also Rs 18 crore), Matheesha Pathirana (Rs 13 crore), and Shivam Dube (Rs 12 crore).

The team also strategically added several key players through the mega-auction, including Devon Conway (Rs 6.25 crore), Rahul Tripathi (Rs 3.40 crore), Rachin Ravindra (Rs 4 crore), R Ashwin (Rs 9.75 crore), Khaleel Ahmed (Rs 4.80 crore), Noor Ahmad (Rs 10 crore), and Vijay Shankar (Rs 1.2 crore). The shrewd acquisitions demonstrate CSK’s commitment to blending experience with fresh talent as they embark on a new chapter. The team retained one Right to Match (RTM) card for future acquisitions. The new-look CSK are poised to challenge for the title in the upcoming season.
