New Delhi. Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain Rituraj Gaikwad has been ruled out of IPL 2025 due to injury. He had to leave the team in the middle tournament due to fracture in the elbow. CSK has made MS Dhoni captain in place of Rituraj Gaikwad. However, it is not yet decided who will replace Rituraj Gaikwad in the playing XI. The names of 3 players are going on in this race.
Chennai Super Kings will face Kolkata Knight Riders on Friday in IPL. MS Dhoni will have to choose the batter in this match instead of Ruturaj Gaikwad (Ruturaj Gaikwad) who can open or play at number three. The name of Rahul Tripathi (Rahul Tripathi) comes as the first contender to replace Rituraj. Rahul Tripathi is an attacking batter, which can play in the top order. CSK bought him for Rs 3.40 crore. Rahul can fulfill the lack of Rituraj to a large extent. The specialty of Rahul is that he can give a fast start in the powerplay and if the team has to use them in the middle order then they can also play this role.
Deepak Hooda can also get a chance
Like Rahul Tripathi, Deepak Hooda is also able to make up for Rituraj. Deepak not only batting attacking, but also gives the option of spin bowling if needed. His name is also recorded in a T20 International match. However, like Rahul Tripathi, Deepak Hooda has also seen out of form in the current season of IPL. He has got a chance to play in two matches in the season, in which he was able to score just 7 runs. CSK bought Deepak Hooda in IPL auction for Rs 1.70 crore.
Siddharth and Rashid also options
If Chennai Super Kings want to trust the youth, he also has the best option as C. Andre Siddharth and Sheikh Rashid. Andre Siddharth performed well for Tamil Nadu in the last domestic season. Rashid of Andhra has been with CSK since 2023. However, he is still waiting for his debut. Delhi’s wicketkeeper Batter Dynasty Bedi also offers options.
Possible playing XI of Chennai Super Kings (on first batting): Rachin Ravindra, Davon Conway, Rahul Tripathi, Shivam Dubey, Vijay Shankar, Ravindra Jadeja, MS Dhoni (captain), Ravichandran Ashwin, Mathisha Pathirana, Khalil Ahmed, Noor Ahmed. Potential Impact Player- Mukesh Chaudhary.
