Recently, the 17th season of IPL has ended. Kolkata Knight Riders won the title for the third time by defeating Sunrisers Hyderabad in the final match. So now cricket fans are waiting for the upcoming season.

However, this time a mega auction is going to be held for the upcoming season. As per the IPL rules, all teams can retain 3 out of the total players in the team and buy one player under the Right to Match Card (RTM) under the 3+1 strategy.

But before the start of IPL 2025, according to some media reports, Rajasthan Royals and Indian team’s experienced spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has joined Chennai Super Kings. So after joining the team, franchise CEO Kashi Vishwanathan has also entrusted him with a big responsibility.

Ashwin joined Chennai Super Kings (CSK)

Let us tell you that before the start of IPL 2025, experienced spinner Ashwin has joined five-time champion Chennai Super Kings. According to a report of Indian Express, Chennai Super Kings can buy Ravichandran Ashwin in the mega auction of IPL, because Ashwin is not seen in the main core of Rajasthan Royals. In such a situation, if Chennai is unable to get Ashwin in the auction, then it can also get him through trade.

On the other hand, regarding Ashwin, franchise CEO Kashi Vishwanathan said – It all depends on the auction, because we have no control over it. We have to wait and see if the opportunity presents itself.

But first and foremost, Ashwin will be heading our High Performance Centre and looking after all cricket-related work. We have got him on board in our setup and he is now part of the CSK venture, while at TNCA he will also play first division cricket for the India Cements team.
