"They probably lack a little firepower" - Aakash Chopra on CSK squad ahead of IPL 2025

Former cricketer Aakash Chopra recently previewed the CSK squad ahead of IPL 2025. Shedding light on their weaknesses, he opined that the Super Kings lack a bit of firepower in the batting department. Speaking on the matter in a video on his YouTube channel 'Aakash Chopra,' he said:

"They probably lack a little firepower because you have a legit finisher in the form of Shivam Dube, and you have one in the form of Dhoni, but Dhoni doesn't come to bat before the 17th over. The power you talk about in T20 games hasn't been seen in Ravindra Jadeja. You might see Rahul Tripathi playing, and then Devon Conway at the top, they are more like grafters. They are collectors but maybe not powerful strikers."

On the positives, Chopra continued:

"The biggest strength of this team is the all-rounders because they have many. They try to pick players who do two jobs. So all-round ability is top-class. They have experience and expertise. They always make a team filled with experience. They have a lot of experience, whether it's Devon Conway, Ruturaj Gaiwad, Jadeja, Ashwin or Dhoni. If you see every individual separately, you will find quality everywhere."
