IPL 2025: Predicting CSK’s Playing XI for their clash against GT

CSK will face the table toppers, Gujarat Titans, in the 67^th game of the ongoing IPL 2025; the game will be hosted by the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday, May 25, at 3:30 PM (IST). The yellow outfits have already been knocked out of the tournament after a horrific run of form.

They are currently placed in the tenth and last spot on the tournament’s points table, with only three wins and four defeats in their 13 games so far. They have only six points to their name and are coming off four defeats, with only one win in their last five games in the tournament, losing recently against RR by a 6-wicket margin. The MS Dhoni-led side will aim to win this game and end their campaign on a winning note.

So, here we’ll have a look at the predicted playing XI of the Chennai Super Kings for their upcoming clash against the Chennai Super Kings.

Openers – Ayush Mhatre and Devon Conway

CSK might go ahead with the same opening pair of teenage talent Ayush Mhatre and the veteran batter, Devon Conway. However, the duo failed to provide a strong start in the last game against RR. But they will look ahead to make a strong comeback in the upcoming and the last league game of CSK against GT.

Ayush smashed a fiery knock of 43 runs off just 29 balls, with six fours and a six in the previous game against RR. But it couldn’t be enough as his side eventually lost the game. Besides him, Conway could score only 10 runs off eight balls, with two fours.

Middle-Order – Urvil Patel, Dewald Brevis, Shivam Dube, and MS Dhoni (C&WK)

CSK’s middle-order is expected to start with Urvil Patel at number three; he might play a crucial role while batting at number three if CSK gets a steady start from their openers. After the failure of the decision to promote Ashwin at number four in the last game against RR, CSK might bank on Dewald Brevis to bat at number four.

Brevis smashed 42 runs off just 25 balls against RR, hitting two fours and three sixes. He will be followed by Shivam Dube, who scored a crucial 39 runs off 32 balls, with two fours and two sixes each. Later in the middle order, skipper MS Dhoni will be there to bat at number six for his side if any shuffling doesn’t happen in the batting lineup.

All-Rounder – Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin

The veteran duo of all-rounders, Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin, is expected to be picked in the roles of specialist all-rounders in the next game against GT. Both the stars could be the vital cogs in the wheel for CSK’s aim to finish their dismal IPL 2025 journey on a winning note.

Ashwin scalped 2 wickets in the last game against RR. Besides him, Jadeja might also bowl some impactful overs in the middle phase of the game in either of the innings.

Bowlers – Anshul Kamboj, Noor Ahmed, Khaleel Ahmed/Matheesha Pathirana

Three pacers are expected to be in action for CSK in the next game against GT. It might include the likes of Anshul Kamboj, Khaleel Ahmed; Matheesha Pathirana might be included as an impact player, replacing a batter. Khaleel Ahmed and Pathirana could make a difference with their impactful bowling in the powerplay phase of the innings.

This pace trio will be joined by the specialist spinner Noor Ahmed, who is currently the purple cap holder in the tournament’s current season, scalping 21 wickets in 13 innings. He also scalped a wicket in the previous clash against RR.
