CSK IPL 2025 Full Schedule: Check Complete fixtures, dates, timings, venues and other details

CSK IPL 2025 Schedule, Dates, Squad, Match List: Chennai Super Kings (CSK), the five-time Indian Premier League (IPL) champions, are gearing up for another thrilling season as they aim to add a sixth title to their illustrious trophy cabinet. The 2025 IPL campaign will kick off in grand fashion for CSK as they face arch-rivals Mumbai Indians in the highly anticipated ‘El Clasico’ at Chepauk on March 23.

All eyes will once again be on legendary wicketkeeper-batter Mahendra Singh Dhoni, as speculation swirls over whether this will be his final IPL appearance. The veteran, who has been the face of CSK since the league’s inception, has consistently brushed aside retirement talks with his signature composure. While Dhoni remains a crucial part of the squad, the leadership baton has been passed to Ruturaj Gaikwad, whom Dhoni had personally picked as his successor ahead of the 2024 season. Gaikwad will now lead the team with hopes of securing a playoff spot after narrowly missing out last year.

CSK’s Squad and Auction Strategy
CSK retained their core players, including Gaikwad, Ravindra Jadeja, Matheesha Pathirana, Shivam Dube, and Dhoni before last year’s IPL auction. The franchise also successfully re-signed Rachin Ravindra and Devon Conway after initially releasing them. In addition, the team made some strategic acquisitions, bringing in experienced campaigners like Ravichandran Ashwin, Rahul Tripathi, and Sam Curran, strengthening both their batting and bowling departments.
