The Chennai Super Kings are reeling at the bottom of the table in IPL 2025. In the ongoing game against the Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium, the Super Kings are looking to make soem changes to find their way back into the game.

CSK Looking To Major Changes In Their Side

One of the major changes that was noticed was that CSK dropped Rahul Tripathi for the match and introduced the 17-year-old Ayush Mhatre into the side. Besides, after the fall of the young right-handed batter, Ravindra Jadeja was seen walking out to bat. 

With Shivam Dube in the line-up, it was surprising decision that Jadeja was sent up the order. The question rising in the minds of the of fan was - 

Why Ravindra Jadeja came out to bat ahead of Shivam Dube?

Ravindra Jadeja is a batter who likes to settle down and then go after the bowlers. With him coming down the order, the acceleration in the end overs becomes difficult. Promoting Jadeja up the order allows him the time to settle down before he can accelerate and leave an impact in the death overs. 

With Ayush Mhatre showing intent at the start of the game, Ravindra Jadeja is expected to provide stability to the team's line-up and keep the scoreboard ticking in the middle overs.
