The Chennai Super Kings have been one of the most consistent teams in the history of the Indian Premier League. They have won five titles and have played in ten finals. One of the biggest reasons behind the success of the Chennai Super Kings have been their ability to retain most of the core of their squad over the years. 

For the upcoming edition of the tournament, the Super Kings have accumulated a strong unit. They have taken care of the fact that most of their bases are covered. However, a few players from their IPL 2024 squad might be missed by the team in the next edition. 

3. Mustafizur Rahman

In IPL 2024, Mustafizur Rahman was able to play only nine matches for CSK. Even though he did not play the full season for them, he left match-winning impacts in most of the games he played. Fizz played nine matches for CSK in the tournament and picked up 14 wickets in them at an average of 22.71 and a strike rate of 14.70.

Besides being an impactful bowler for the yellow army, Mustafizur bowled the tough overs towards the end of an innings and was the prime reason behind turning a few matches in their favour. As the 2025 season approaches, it looks like CSK will be a bit too over dependent on Matheesha Pathirana for their death over duties. They might miss the dexterity and experience of Mustafizur in the death overs. 

2. Tushar Deshpande

The Indian pacer emerged as the prime wicket-taker for CSK during the IPL 2023 and 2024 season. However, the five-time IPL champions decided to release Tushar Deshpande ahead of the upcoming edition of the tournament and Rajasthan Royals picked him up in the action. 

In the 2023 and 2024 season, even though Deshpande conceded runs at a high economy, he picked up regular wickets. The absence of the Indian pacer will create the void of a player who can pick up wicket at any stage of a game. 

1. Daryl Mitchell

The Kiwi middle-order batter added great dynamism and depth to the batting line-up, however he was released ahead of IPL 2025 auction. In 13 matches, Daryl Mitchell scored 318 runs at an average of 28.90 and a strike rate of 142.60. Though, he was not consistent with his run-scoring he played a couple of impactful knocks for the team.

During IPL 2025, Chennai Super Kings might miss a batter in the middle-order who could add stability and also bring about dynamism in the line-up. The management has tried to assort players to fill the gap but they might miss a player who could make important contributions in big matches.
