The five-time IPL champions have been going through a transition phase, and they failed to make it to the playoffs since winning the trophy in 2023. They finished 8th on the table in the recent season. Yet, CSK continue with Stephen Fleming despite disappointing IPL 2026 campaign.
The Bengal all-rounder is currently part of the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) franchise. However, CSK believes that Shahbaz could provide the balance and versatility. However, bringing Shahbaz to Chennai will not be easy because the Lucknow Super Giants' setup is not keen to let him go.

As a result, Chennai Super Kings team management is now looking towards players with proven experience. Shahbaz fits that requirement perfectly. Apart from contributing with both bat and ball, he has also shown leadership qualities that caught everyone’s attention.
Over the years, Shahbaz has developed into a dependable all-rounder who can contribute in multiple situations and provide stability to any side. Well, Lucknow Super Giants are standing firm, and no agreement has been reached between them and CSK for the Shahbaz Ahmed deal.
Shahbaz Ahmed's IPL career
He was part of the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) from 2020 to 2023. During his time with RCB, the all-rounder produced several memorable performances, including a match-changing spell against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). In 2024, he moved to SRH and played an important role in the team's run to the IPL final, where they lost the trophy to Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR).
Later, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) signed Shahbaz in the 2025 mega auction and retained him for the following season. So far, he has played 63 IPL matches, where he has amassed 603 runs, taken 27 wickets, and grabbed 21 catches, proving his value as a dependable all-rounder.
