CSK’s performance wasn’t great in this edition of the IPL, and they bought the hometown player Ravichandran Ashwin for a whopping price of INR 9.75 crore.
Ravichandran Ashwin failed to perform in the IPL 2025. Ashwin was also benched for some matches because of his performance.
"I understand the philosophy behind CSK going for Ashwin because, at the end of the day, they have always gone for proven and mature players and that philosophy has worked for them over the duration of the IPL. But if you need to release funds, the obvious one would be Ashwin,” Moody said on ESPNcricinfo.
"He went for close to 10 crores in the auction, and that's a lot of money for someone who’s not guaranteed a place in the XI. So that maybe a hard conversation that the management will have to have with him,” Moody added.
Ravichandran Ashwin’s performance in IPL 2025
Ravichandran Ashwin only managed to score 20 runs in this edition of the IPL with an average of just 6.67. Ashwin’s strike rate was also under 100.
CSK need to buy players in the mini auction
Before IPL 2026, there will be a mini auction, and with the current CSK squad, they need to make the most of it and make more funds available. CSK have to release Ashwin, who is a very expensive player.
CSK have two games left in the IPL 2025 to check their bench strength in the remaining matches.
