The Chennai Super Kings have been one of the most consistent teams in the tournament. They have won five IPL titles and have played in 10 finals of the tournament. 

One of the biggest strengths of the CSK had been the way they assimilated their squads over the years. They take particular care in recruiting players who would suit the roles they want. During the IPL 2025 auction, the five-time IPL champions have gone in with the same strategy. 

With the four overseas players' limitations in IPL, here are the ones who could feature in the CSK playing combination during the tournament.

4. Devon Conway

The Kiwi opener played a crucial role in CSK's championship run during the IPL 2023 season. Devon Conway has great chemistry with the skipper and the first-choice opener of the team, Ruturaj Gaikwad. Ruturaj and Conway form a solid and consistent pair at the top of the order, and it is a given that CSK will be looking to play this Kiwi opener no matter what.

3. Sam Curran

Chennai Super Kings bought the English all-rounder for ₹ 2.40 Cr during the IPL 2025 auction. Sam Curran has previously been a part of the franchise and has proven himself a utility choice with both the bat and the ball. One of the biggest positives of having Sam Curran in the playing combination is that there will be great dynamism and flexibility in the tournament's bowling and batting.

2. Noor Ahmad

The young Afghan prodigy has impressed with his exploits in the T20 format. Noor Ahmad can be a wicket-taker and also the containing bowler for the team in the middle overs. The home ground of CSK is known for its slowness and the spin-friendly surface it provides. At Chepauk, Noor Ahmad can be the biggest trump card for the Super Kings.

1. Matheesha Pathirana

The young Sri Lankan pacer has established himself as a match-winner in the CSK set-up. Matheesha Pathirana's extraordinary death-over skills make him a vital part of the team. He can change the game for his team even in the toughest situations with his near-perfect and clever variations. Given the overall utility and impact of the player, Matheesha Pathirana is sure to find a place in CSK playing combination during the IPL 2025.
