As the chennai Super Kings team is playing badly in the 2025 IPL series, former player of the team suresh raina has criticized coach stephen Fleming and the CSK management, pointing out the scam that took place in the IPL auction. In the 2025 IPL mega auction, the chennai Super Kings team bought Devon Conway for Rs 6.25 crore, rahul Tripathi for Rs 3.4 crore, Rachin ravindra for Rs 4 crore and Ravichandran Ashwin for Rs 9.75 crore. Bowlers Khaleel ahmed was bought for Rs 4.8 crore and Noor ahmed for Rs 10 crore. Of these six, only Noor ahmed and Khaleel ahmed have shown good performance so far. The other four have been struggling badly. In this situation, suresh raina has criticized CSK, pointing out that instead of buying such players in the IPL auction, they could have bought star players.
Before the 2025 IPL mega auction, chennai Super Kings retained five players - Ruturaj Gaikwad, ravindra Jadeja, Madeesha Pathirana, shivam Dube, and dhoni - for Rs 65 crore. While each team was given Rs 120 crore, out of which Rs 65 crore was spent on only five players. The remaining Rs 55 crore was used to buy the other players in the auction. In particular, several crores were spent on Ashwin, Devon Conway, and Rachin Ravindra. suresh raina, who has spoken about this, said, "You left rishabh pant, Shreyas Iyer, and KL rahul in the auction. The team management and the head coach did not try to buy good players. There were many players who played well in the auction. But the chennai Super Kings team did not buy them. Despite having a lot of money, the CSK team did not do it. I have never seen the chennai Super Kings team falter like this in the IPL series before."
