Chennai Super King (CSK) will face the Delhi Capitals (DC) in match 17 of the 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL) on Saturday, April 4. The first match of the two players will be played at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.

The Super Kings have a bad start in the new campaign, with only one win in three games so far. There are also fitness problems at present, Captain Travel Giikwad It is reported that in the face of a competition with time, participate in this encounter.

Given their batting weaknesses and the differences between several players, CSK may consider some changes.

CSK Squad for IPL 2025: Ruturaj Gaikwad, Rahul Tripathi, Shaik Rasheed, Deepak Hooda, Andre Siddarth, Devon Conway, MS Dhoni, Dhoni, Vansh Bedi, Ravindra Jadeja, Shivam Dube, R Ashwin, Sam Curran, Sam Curran, Rachin RavindraVijay Shankar, Anshul KambojJamie Overton, Ramakrishna Ghosh, Noor Ahmad, Shreyas Gopal, Matheesha Pathirana, Khaleel Ahmed, Kamlesh Nagarkoti, Mukesh Choudhary, Gurjapneet Singh, Nathan Ellis.

At this point, this is the XI predicted by CSK, except for a few Impact Player options, i.e. Match 17 of IPL 2025.

Bottle Opener: Rachin Ravindra and Devon Conway

Rahul Tripathi’s swing and tough lengths in power games are all at sea, and bringing him into the middle order could be an option for CSK. They obviously need some batting solidity and can decide to bring in Devon Conway, which has been a consistent runner at the top of that order. Conway could replace Jamie Overton, who was eliminated in two powerful matches against Rajasthan Royals (RR).

Rachin Ravindra lost in the last game but seemed to be in good shape and it makes sense to stick with him. If CSK wants, they can also use his spin ability in the middle.

Middle Order: Ruturaja Gaikwad (C), Rahul Tripathi, Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, MS Dhoni (WK)

Gaikwad, if appropriate, should continue to be in 3rd place. If the CSK captain had no results, he could be replaced by Vijay Shankar or even Shaik Rasheed, who has been part of the Impact Subs Batch in the first three games.

Tripathi can use DC spinners in the middle stages, and his head-to-head record is good. It was followed by Shivam Dube, who needed to attend the party if the Super Kings were to turn the season around.

Ravindra Jadeja and MS Dhoni did not add much value in the middle game, and the former’s poverty start caught up with his death. The senior duo needs to strengthen the game and contribute more to the team.

Sub-level: Ravichandran Ashwin, Noor Ahmad, Matheesha Pathirana, Khaleel Ahmed

Ravicandran Ashwin’s homecoming has no plans yet, and the veteran deputy needs to find his best form before CSK clashes with his former team. He will pair with Noor Ahmad in the rotary department.

Matheesha Pathirana is slowly showing signs of his best form and should keep his position on the side, Khaleel Ahmed is the front line option for Indian speed.

Impact Player Options – Vijay Shankar, Shaik Rasheed, Anshul Kamboj

Without Overton, CSK will need a third pacemaker. Anshul Kamboj is likely to be the leader as he has the ability to carry new balls and on the tough length in the middle.

If Gaikwad plays, they may not be free to do so, but if necessary, Shankar or Rasheed can be used as a hit.
