The 2025 edition of the Indian Premier League is set to begin on March 22. Five-time champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will kick-off their campaign against Mumbai Indians on March 23 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium.

CSK failed to make the playoffs last season and ended fifth behind Royal Challengers Bengaluru on net run rate. Under Ruturaj Gaikwad's captaincy, CSK will be eyeing their sixth IPL title this season.

Of course, the spotlight will be on 'OG' Captain Cool, MS Dhoni.

Chennai Super Kings retained Dhoni for Rs 4 crores ahead of IPL 2025 auction, with the franchise once again reposing faith in the abilities of the former India captain, who has led the side to five IPL titles. He will now play as an uncapped player, having spent more than five years as a retired player from international cricket.
