Chennai Super Kings' performance last season was disappointing. Both the batsmen and bowlers failed to contribute consistently to the team. However, the biggest problem was in the batting department.

Before the IPL 2026 auction, CSK may decide on the future of these batsmen. The team will consider retaining some players or adding new ones.

Ruturaj Gaikwad, besides being the captain, is one of the team's best batsmen. He has scored the most runs for CSK since 2020, with 2502 runs. Shivam Dube is second with 1460 runs. MS Dhoni's power-hitting is still excellent.

Dewald Brevis replaced the injured Gurjapneet Singh and proved to be CSK's best batsman in IPL 2025. The 22-year-old Brevis performed brilliantly with an average of 37.50 and a strike rate of 180. 18-year-old Ayush Mhatre also scored 240 runs with a strike rate of 188.97. Urvil Patel also performed well in the limited matches he played.

Ruturaj Gaikwad, MS Dhoni (wk), Dewald Brevis, Ayush Mhatre, Devon Conway (wk), Rahul Tripathi, Shaik Rasheed, Vansh Bedi (wk), Andre Siddarth, Urvil Patel (wk). This squad could offer strong batting options for CSK in the upcoming IPL.
