The Chennai Super Kings (CSK), five-time IPL champions, are looking forward to the IPL 2025 season with a strong and fresh lineup led by skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad. But the franchise will surely keep an eye on the 2025 Champions Trophy as their key players will be in action.

The 2025 Champions Trophy will get underway from 19th February. All the 8 teams have finalised their squads. Pakistan were the last of all the teams to unveil their 15-member unit.

The young Afghanistan spinner is a rising star in international cricket. Noor Ahmad has the potential to become a very useful weapon in conditions that are supportive of spin as he bowls very deceptive googlies and clever variations. 

CSK will keenly watch his match performances, considering the fact that he can trouble even the best of batters with his unpredictable deliveries. He will likely be a key asset in Chennai’s bowling arsenal in IPL 2025, especially in Chepauk stadium. Hence, his form will be a talking point for the franchise in the Champions Trophy 2025.

CSK bought England’s promising fast bowler Jamie Overton for INR 1.5 crore in the IPL 2025 mega auction. He has come quite well in the T20I series versus India, taking 7 wickets which reflects well on his capability of subcontinent conditions. 

With Overton's capacity to generate pace and bounce, he is expected to be a game-changer for England in the Champions Trophy. CSK will watch him closely on those pitches that help the fast bowlers to see how he does. If he comes good, CSK is sure to tap him for crucial breakthroughs in the IPL 2025 season.

CSK made a bold move to retain Ravindra Jadeja for INR 18 crore for the IPL 2025 season despite the spinner retiring from the T20I format. Jadeja’s impact on subcontinent pitches makes him a potential match-winner for India. 

In the pressure matches, Jadeja's left-arm spin has proved to be precious in breaking key partnerships and dominating the middle overs. His sharp fielding skills come as a bonus. So, CSK would stay glued to their television screens and pray for Jadeja to regain form before the start of IPL 2025.
