The eagerly awaited IPL 2025 Mega Auction is started in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, at the prestigious Abady Al-Johar Arena. This event is historic as it marks only the second time an IPL auction is being held outside India, with last year’s auction taking place in Dubai. With 577 players up for grabs, the auction promises to be a thrilling spectacle as franchises compete to strengthen their squads for the next three years.
Chennai Super Kings enter the auction with a purse of ₹55 crore, having retained their core players. They have 20 player slots available, including 7 for overseas players, and 1 Right to Match (RTM) slot. CSK is one of the most successful franchises in IPL history, with five championships and 12 playoff qualifications. They have reached the finals 10 times, showcasing their consistent performance in the tournament.
Ruturaj Gaikwad has taken on the significant responsibility of leading the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) after MS Dhoni. Given CSK’s strong tradition of making it to the playoffs, Gaikwad’s first season as captain was commendable. He will aim to improve and lead the team even further in IPL 2025.
The CSK management team includes Stephen Fleming as Head Coach, Ruturaj Gaikwad as Captain, Kasi Viswanathan as CEO, and Rupa Gurunath.
