IPL 2025: Best XI of Chennai Super Kings (CSK)

With only four victories from 14 games, the Chennai Super Kings finished bottom in the points table during a challenging IPL 2025 season. Even if the campaign was disappointing, there were some encouraging individual performances. The five-time champions found it difficult to gain traction and even stuttered at their home field, which is often where they excel.

Their lack of a consistent playing lineup was one of the main causes of their disappointing season. It didn't seem like CSK found a balanced XI until the very end. Here is a look at CSK's Best XI from the 2025 Indian Premier League, which shows how the top players built what could have been a more competitive side.

Here is the best XI of the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in IPL 2025:

With 240 runs in just 7 games, including an incredible 94 against RCB, Ayush Mhatre was a revelation. Devon Conway, who came back from injury to offer composure at the top, established a strong opening duo with him. Before an injury ended his campaign, Ruturaj Gaikwad brought calm leadership and scored 122 runs, including two fifties.

Dewald Brevis made an impression with 225 runs in 6 games at a strike rate of 180, while Rachin Ravindra contributed 191 runs in 8 games in the middle order. CSK's most reliable batsman, Shivam Dube, finished with 357 runs.

The lower middle order was held together by veterans Ravindra Jadeja and MS Dhoni. Jadeja contributed 301 runs and crucial cameos and 10 wickets, while Dhoni scored 194 runs with the bat.

Noor Ahmad stood well with the ball, taking 24 wickets, notably 4/18 against the Mumbai Indians. Khaleel Ahmed (15 wickets) and Anshul Kamboj (8 wickets) were vital in the pace department.

With his quick pace, Matheesha Pathirana, an impact substitute, took 13 wickets in 12 games during crucial stints.
