There is a lot of hope riding on Chennai Super Kings after a disappointing 2024 season in the Indian Premier League. CSK, who have won 5 IPL titles, are chasing a sixth honour and there is a view this season could help them achieve the dream. CSK will want to bounce back and showcase their strengths with the squad they have assembled. The bowling, in particular, was an area they addressed after having let go off several players. Ahead of the auction, CSK retained 5 players in MS Dhoni, Shivam Dube, Rituraj Gaikwad, Ravindra Jadeja, and Matheesha Pathirana. Notably, CSK's main talking point has been the return of former spinner Ravichandran Ashwin. He returns to the side after 10 years. The mega auction in Jeddah saw CSK do a decent job with Noor Ahmad and veteran offie Ashwin drawing the maximum bids. It's a bowling-heavy side and with 7 matches set to be played at the Chepauk, expect CSK to rely on the same.

Ahead of the IPL 2025 season, we present five reasons why CSK can win their 6th title in addition to highlighting their strengths and weaknesses.
