Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will begin their IPL 2025 campaign on Sunday (March 23) with a match against the Mumbai Indians (MI). The Chepauk Stadium in Chennai will host IPL's El Classico.
Ruturaj Gaikwad will continue as captain for the second straight season. He was handed over the reins of the Super Kings side last year after wicketkeeper-batter MS Dhoni relinquished captaincy.
Ruturaj did not have an ideal start to his leadership tenure as CSK failed to qualify for the playoffs in IPL 2024, finishing fifth in the points table. However, he enjoyed a great season with the bat, scoring 583 runs across 14 games at an average of 53, including one century and four fifties.
