Ravichandran Ashwin Return CSK IPL 2025: Before the release of the retention list of IPL 2025, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) was in the news and now even after the retention list is out, this team is in the news. Earlier MS Dhoni was the center of discussion, but now the center has become Ravichandran Ashwin. Let us tell you that Chennai has retained MS Dhoni, Rituraj Gaikwad, Shivam Dubey, Ravindra Jadeja and Mathisha Pathirana. Now CSK has Rs 55 crore left in its purse for the auction.

According to Times of India, many teams including Chennai Super Kings can bet on wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant. Apart from him, CSK seems to be in the mood to bring back Ravichandran Ashwin. Ashwin, who has already played 8 seasons for Chennai. On one hand, CSK has to fill the slot of a top order Indian batsman and an experienced fast bowler, so it is less likely that they will bid 15-20 crores or more on any player.

According to TOI, some time ago Ashwin had told in an interview that he once again wants to play for his old team i.e. Chennai Super Kings. Meanwhile, it is also an update that the CSK franchise can play the Right to Match card on New Zealand's dashing opener Devon Conway. Conway could not play last season due to a thumb injury, but in IPL 2023, he scored 672 runs at an average of 51.69.

Talking about Ravichandran Ashwin, he has played 97 matches for Chennai Super Kings, in which he has taken 90 wickets. He has also scored 190 runs for this team. But when CSK and Rajasthan Royals were banned for the 2016-2017 season, Ashwin has not played for Chennai since then.
