R Ashwin

[{"selector":"#anim-8ddd83d6-436f-4d76-9d11-5e7b5db3247a","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":100,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-cc73a22a-8195-4cdb-bf45-636b42269a45","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-101.24378%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":100,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7e956241-b758-4eab-8023-4af6cb057389 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-0.0167051666630762%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

[{"selector":"#anim-ea3e8515-aa01-4a56-8e95-067eaee41738 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(15.75753717212074%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] Speculations of Ashwin's return to CSK have been all over the internet. On the lookout for experienced spinners in the squad, CSK might go for him.

Cameron Green

[{"selector":"#anim-bd25d358-67a5-4f96-997f-73cd7c98ed4d [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(14.559002316488849%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7d69ed0f-3101-4d9e-a188-347c8d42347c","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":100,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c3d2d262-5187-456b-83ae-1dde2c8e289f","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-101.24378%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":100,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

[{"selector":"#anim-ab29a4d9-fac8-4015-9763-34abcb54e190 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-12.290602416793888%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] CSK might want the hard-hitter in their squad, who can also be handy in medium- pace bowling. Overall he might be the perfect all-rounder the yellow army needs.

Washington Sundar

[{"selector":"#anim-6fc47a83-54a7-413d-a26f-66a8add95741 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-11.655011026033224%, -22.727269969108878%) scale(1.4545454545454546)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-667fd4de-c8a8-4722-9f1d-2afbe69a560b","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":100,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-bf5c4b2d-9bbc-4d5e-ba01-2463aab3fbb5","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-101.24378%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":100,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

[{"selector":"#anim-b82c4352-d675-460d-8b77-62944c9c6eac [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(2.4206623739731166%, -12.019231737078917%) scale(1.4166666666666667)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] Sundar is another all-rounder option Chennai might consider grabbing in the 2025 IPL auction. He might be a lower- order batting addition to the squad.

KL Rahul

[{"selector":"#anim-96693511-0095-4e2b-bec5-5d23fe85d358 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-10.535624586126671%, -19.230768452825497%) scale(1.3846153846153846)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ca444c0b-3b55-484c-84dc-7ea73dc862b9","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":100,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a077dcc1-5a43-4cae-a1c3-0aa7db553d87","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-101.24378%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":100,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

[{"selector":"#anim-d8acbf97-a957-4e6c-9a23-f704cb001355 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(1.9819384140867058%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] Rumour has it that Rahul is to part ways with LSG, following misbehaviour by owner Sanjiv Goenka after an IPL 2024 match. In that case, CSK might want an experienced wicketkeeper-batter like him in the squad.
