IPL Mega Auction 2025: Chennai Super Kings (CSK) once again performed brilliantly in IPL 2024, but missed out on a place in the playoffs. Now the team has started preparing for the next season. Mega auction will be organized before IPL 2025. In such a situation, Chennai Super Kings will have to drop many players from their team.

Apart from this, the option of 1 Right to Match (RTM) can also be available. RTM card is used during the auction.

However, the CSK team wants to keep Dhoni with them at any cost. Apart from them, CSK has many talented players who are the backbone of the team and they can be retained for the next season.
