Chennai Super Kings enjoyed a successful Day 1 of the IPL mega auction 2025 with quality signings in Jeddah on Sunday. CSK made the headlines for signing their former player and home favourite Ravichandran Ashwin for Rs 9.75 crore, who is set to return to Chennai after a long gap of 9 years.
The five-time champions also spent big to sign the young Afghanistani cricketer Noor Ahmad for a whopping price of Rs 10 crore. As expected, Rutuaj Gaikwad-led signed back their former stars Rachin Ravindra and Devon Conway.
Chennai also managed to sign Khaleel Ahmed and Rahul Tripathi to further strengthen their squad for the 2025 edition. The left-arm fast bowler Khaleel cost only 4.80 crore which is considered a steal buy after the player’s impressive 2024 season for Delhi Capitals.
