Noor Ahmed: Chennai’s new deadly spinner
Young Afghanistan spinner Noor Ahmed was bought by CSK for ₹ 10 crore in the IPL 2025 mega auction. He created a stir in his very first match by taking four wickets for 18 runs against Mumbai Indians. His wrist magic and economical bowling can create problems for any batsman in the middle overs.
Ravichandran Ashwin: The magician of experience

After being released from Rajasthan Royals, CSK bought him for ₹9.75 crore. Ashwin has the experience of 181 IPL wickets, which can prove to be a big weapon for Chennai.
Ravindra Jadeja: Spin specialist
Ravindra Jadeja is an important part of Chennai Super Kings and has been playing for the team since 2012. Jadeja, who is well aware of the Chepauk pitch, keeps the batsmen tied with his accurate and fast bowling. This ability of his makes him a reliable spinner of the team. Jadeja has 160 wickets in IPL.
Chennai’s spin trio can be a big weapon for CSK’s victory against RCB. The combined 12 overs of spin of Noor Ahmed, Ashwin and Jadeja can prove to be heavy for RCB. This attack of CSK on the spin friendly pitch of Chepauk will play an important role in giving them victory.
