Why Will CSK Target Sameer Rizvi?

The young Indian batter was a part of the CSK set up in the last edition. Batting in the middle-order Sameer Rizvi proved his worth as a dynamic batter in the middle overs. This young right-handed batter can take the attack to the opposition from the first ball of his innings and that is something that CSK will prefer in their middle-order. Besides the fact that Rizvi has already been a part of the set up and knows how the team operates might induce the management to repurchase him during the auction.

2. Musheer Khan

Why Will CSK Target Musheer Khan?

This young Indian all-rounder has all the ingridients to become a perfect fit in the CSK set up. Musheer Khan can adjust his batting as per the demands of the game and also bowl some efficient overs in the middle phase of an innings. The right handed batter has already shown great temperament and maturity when it comes to batting under pressure. The CSK management prefer this type of players who can deliver under pressure and also prove their utlity in both innings of the game. So, there is a chance that CSK might go hard for this young all-rounder during the IPL 2025 mega auction.

Why Will CSK Target Ayush Mhatre?

The young opener from Maharasthra has recently made the headlines because of the news that MS Dhoni was impressed by his batting and called him for CSK trials. Aged just 17 years, CSK might look to groom him to become the future partner of their skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad. Under the CSK coaching staff, Ayush Mhatre might add layers to his game and become a crucial part of the team providng depth and flexibility to the management.
