CSK opts for new opening pair in 2025 IPL

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) made a surprising decision during their match against Mumbai Indians in the 2025 Indian Premier League. The team did not open the batting with their usual pair of Ruturaj Gaikwad and Devon Conway. Instead, Rachin Ravindra and Rahul Tripathi were chosen to start the innings. This change raised questions since Gaikwad, who usually opens, batted at number three instead. There are no injury concerns with Gaikwad, which suggests that this was a tactical move by the team's management. Fans and analysts are eager to hear more about this decision. Official statements are expected after the match, which should provide more insight into CSK's strategy.
