The IPL Auction 2025 saw Chennai Super Kings making significant moves to strengthen their squad. R. Ashwin was secured for Rs 9.75 crore, Devon Conway for Rs 6.25 crore, and Rachin Ravindra for Rs 4 crore using the RTM option. Wicketkeeper-batter Rahul Tripathi was acquired for Rs 3.4 crore. CSK also made big purchases for Noor Ahmed (Rs 10 crore), Khaleel Ahmed (Rs 4.8 crore), and Vijay Shankar (Rs 1.2 crore).
