IPL 2025: Chennai Super Kings (CSK) Schedule and Match Timings, Home and Away

The schedule for the upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League has been officially released by the BCCI on Sunday. The five-time champions, Chennai Super Kings will take on Mumbai Indians in their tournament campaign at MA Chidambaram Stadium on Sunday, 23rd, March.

Chennai Super Kings retained Ruturaj Gaikwad, MS Dhoni, Ravindra Jadeja, Shivam Dube and Matheesha Pathirana ahead of the season. In the mega auction of IPL 2025, CSK made their first move by roping the New Zealand cricketer Devon Conway for a sum of INR 6.25 crore.

They made the highest bid on the first day of auction for Ravichandran Ashwin who is coming back to the side after several years. The Ruturaj-led side had to sign the veteran off-spinner for a whopping price of INR 9.75 crore.

However, one of the smart buys in the auction, Rachin Ravindra is likely to miss the IPL due to eye injury in an ODI match against Pakistan. The replacement for the Kiwi cricketer is yet to be confirmed by the side.
