Delhi: The Indian Premier League (IPL) for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in 2025 has been full of ups and downs. The five -time champion team registered a stunning victory against Mumbai Indians (Mi) in their first match, but after that it suffered defeat against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Rajasthan Royals (RR). In both these matches, Chennai's batting stumbled, and veteran finisher Mahendra Singh Dhoni also failed to leave his mark. Meanwhile, a scouting member of CSK has made a big charge on the management, questioning the team's auction strategy.

Question raised on CSK's auction strategy

CSK usually trusts experienced players rather than young players. A video is going viral on social media, in which CSK scouting member claims that he had suggested the names of many young talented players to the team management, but he was ignored.

Scouting member statement

The scouting member said, “I am a talent scouting member and I had seen some matches of UP and Punjab League. From there I recommended the names of Priyansh Arya, Vipraj Nigam, Swastik Chikara and Aniket Verma. My job was to name possible players before the auction, but the team shown these suggestions.”

Questions raised on CSK's decision

This disclosure is also shocking because CSK bought experienced players like Ravichandran Ashwin, Deepak Hooda and Rahul Tripathi in the mega auction, who are running in poor form this season. On the other hand, young players who were ignored are impressing everyone with their game.

• Priyansh Arya In his debut match for Punjab Kings, he scored a rampage of 47 runs in 23 balls against Gujarat Titans.
• Vipraj corporation Took a wicket against Lucknow Super Giants for Delhi Capitals and scored 39 runs in 15 balls.
• Aniket Verma Khan scored a brilliant innings of 74 runs in 41 balls against Delhi Capitals for Sunrisers Hyderabad.

Fans of CSK are now questioning the team management about why the young talent was not given a chance. Now it will be seen how CSK performs in the upcoming matches.
