Who Will Win Today’s IPL Match?

Will CSK recruit Mhatre?

CSK is currently dealing with a top-order problem in IPL 2025, with Ruturaj Gaikwad occupying the third place. Openers Rachin Ravindra perform well but Rahul Tripathi has yet to deliver as a tandem. There have been suggestions to include Devon Conway in the batting order.

CSK is seventh in the points table (IPL 2025), having won one and lost two of their three matches. Mhatre’s presence might infuse new enthusiasm into the squad during this crisis.

Yes, we’ve called him for trials. He has impressed our talent scouts. If there’s any need, we’ll do that. We’re not picking anybody, it’s just a trial,” CSK CEO Mr. Kasi Viswanathan stated to TOI.
