The Chennai Super Kings made some useful purchases to strengthen their squad, making them a seemingly complete package after the two-day IPL auction in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, on November 24 and 25.

With IPL 2025 most likely to be 43-year-old Dhoni's last season as a player, CSK would want nothing less than the trophy. At the auction, CSK splurged on a bulk of all-rounders bringing in the experienced Ravichandran Ashwin, who could team up with his spin twin from the national squad Ravindra Jadeja -- the duo likely to give opposition some sleepless nights.

Buying Afghan spinner Noor Ahmed could be a trump card. The partnership wrecker's services could come handy as a Impact Sub.

Deepak Hooda and Vijay Shankar have been tagged as finishers and when need be, they can also be used as Impact players.

The five-time champs have also added some arsenal in the batting department with the purchase of the ever dependable Rahul Tripathi. The IPL veteran could lend the middle order a backbone alongside all-rounder Rachin Ravindra, who was bought using the RTM card.

Khaleel Ahmed will be a sure shot to open the attack from one end, and with heaps of IPL experience, the left-armer will be a treat to watch as he works in tandem with Nathan Ellis or Matheesha Pathirana.

At IPL 2025, expect nothing short of electric cricket from Thala Dhoni and his band of machas.
