Η Ajinkya Rahane, η οποία κυκλοφόρησε από την CSK πριν από τη δημοπρασία IPL 2025, μπορεί να προσθέσει την απαραίτητη σταθερότητα στην ισχυρή μεσαία τάξη τους.

Known for his ability in the red-ball format, it was assumed that the Mumbai batter had no future in white-ball cricket. But that changed with his arrival to CSK. Fans got to witness a never seen before aggressive side of Rahane, quite the polar opposite of what they were used to seeing. Now, Rahane has been released ahead of IPL 2025 auction and is for the grabs for any team. However, it would be wiser for CSK to buy back the batter.
