As the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season is soon approaching, all franchises have started their preparations in their team camps. A video of former skipper MS Dhoni and all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin grabbed the attention of the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) fans across social media platforms.
Ravichandran Ashwin has rejoined Chennai Super Kings ahead of the IPL 2025 season after being released by Rajasthan Royals (RR), who chose not to retain him in the auction. The team invested heavily to bring back the veteran spin-bowling all-rounder, securing him for ₹9.75 crores in the 2025 mega auction.
Ashwin began his IPL career with the Super Kings in 2009 and played for the franchise until 2015. The veteran off-spinner has played 212 IPL matches, taking 180 wickets at an average of 29.82 and an economy rate of 7.12, showcasing his vast experience. The 38-year-old recently retired from international cricket.
Meanwhile, the five-time IPL champions retained MS Dhoni as an uncapped player ahead of the IPL 2025 mega auction. According to the new retention rules, a team can retain a capped Indian cricketer as uncapped if the player hasn't played international cricket or held a central contract in the last five years.

The Chennai-based team finished fifth last season, winning seven out of 14 league stage matches. They had the same number of points as Royal Challengers Bengaluru but missed out on the playoffs due to a lower net run rate (NRR). Delhi Capitals (DC) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) also had 14 points.
