Key Changes in IPL 2025 Squads
IPL 2025 has witnessed significant changes in team lineups due to injuries. Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have signed AyushMhatre, a 17-year-old Mumbai opener, as a replacement for injured captain RuturajGaikwad, who suffered an elbow fracture. Mhatre, known for his impressive performances in domestic cricket, will join CSK under the captaincy of MS Dhon.
Meanwhile, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) have brought in SmaranRavichandran to replace injured Australian leg-spinner Adam Zampa. Ravichandran, a left-handed batter from Karnataka, joins SRH with a strong domestic record, having played seven first-class games, ten List A matches, and six T20s.
These changes reflect the dynamic nature of IPL 2025, where teams are adapting to injuries and performance challenges. CSK hopes Mhatre’s inclusion will revitalize their batting lineup, while SRH looks to Ravichandran to bolster their middle order. Both teams aim to improve their standings in the points table with these strategic replacements.
