Chennai Super Kings (CSK) look to have one of the strongest squads going into the 19th season of the Indian Premier League. Here's who all made it to their final 25 for IPL 2026.

Chennai Super Kings’ Indian batting lineup for IPL 2026 is led by skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad, with support from Ayush Mhatre and Sarfaraz Khan. The trio provides stability at the top along with firepower in the middle order.

CSK’s wicketkeeping options include MS Dhoni, Kartik Sharma, Urvil Patel and Sanju Samson. Dhoni’s calm presence and experience combine with Samson’s sharp keeping and attacking batting, giving the team flexibility and leadership behind the stumps throughout the season.

CSK's all-rounders add balance to the IPL 2026 squad. Shivam Dube, Jamie Overton, Matthew Short, Zak Foulkes, Prashant Veer, Aman Khan, Anshul Kamboj and Ramakrishna Ghosh provide options with both bat and ball, helping the team to change their combination as needed.

Chennai Super Kings boast a powerful Indian bowling attack for IPL 2026. Khaleel Ahmed, Mukesh Choudhary and Gurjapneet Singh bring pace, swing and control at all stages of the game.
In the middle overs, Rahul Chahar and Shreyas Gopal add balance and can keep runs in control on helpful tracks.

CSK’s overseas bench for IPL 2026 includes Dewald Brevis, Matt Henry, Spencer Johnson, Noor Ahmad and Akeal Hosein.
Brevis provides firepower with the bat, while Henry is expected to lead the pace attack alongside Johnson in both the powerplay and death overs. Noor Ahmad and Hosein add value as wicket-takers in the middle overs.
