CSK had a good outing in the IPL 2025 Mega Auctions. Here, we take a look at the list of three prominent cricketers CSK lost out on the final bid at IPL 2025 Mega Auctions.
Auction dynamics are such. You could miss out on some key players at the last moment. CSK also had to endure this. In the final bid, they lost out on a few notable names.
1) Deepak Chahar
Not many expected CSK to go for Deepak Chahar, especially after his poor form in the last cycle. However, CSK is a franchise that values relationships and loyalties. Hence, they went hard for the swing bowler. Eventually, Mumbai Indians signed him because they needed him more for the side.
2) Liam Livingstone could have been one of the CSK cricketers in IPL 2025
Liam Livingstone is one of the prominent cricketers CSK lost out on the final bid at IPL 2025 Mega Auctions. CSK was very right in going for Liam Livingstone. At No.5 or No.6, he would have been the perfect pace hitter for the side. The load would have reduced on the likes of MS Dhoni. However, RCB were clear about their signings for the middle order and hence, signed the Englishman.
3) Glenn Maxwell
Maxi has been a target for CSK in the past, as well. He would have been an ideal player for the Chepauk pitch. However, the franchise did not have a lot of budget to allocate for the Aussie all-rounder. Therefore, they had to give up on him.
