The Indian Premier League (IPL) witnesses teams putting in their all to try to get their hands on the title. One of the most successful franchises in the tournament is the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) who have made some interesting buys in the 2025 mega auction for the upcoming tournament.
The opening pairs play a huge role in the team and there are a lot of players within the yellow brigade who can play this role. It is time to discuss which two batters the team would pick going into the tournament. The five-time champions will have a tough decision to make to find the perfect combination with the amount of talent they have within their team. CSK will be looking to come back to their usual ways from the heart-breaking exit the last season where they finished fifth and failed to make it to the playoffs.

Here are the top three probable opening pairs the Chennai Super Kings could go for in the upcoming tournament:
3. Rachin Ravindra and Devon Conway
This would be highly unlikely since both the batters are left-handers but something that goes in their favour is both of them are not only Kiwi teammates but have experience of opening the batting for their national team too. Both Rachin Ravindra and Devon Conway are stars for New Zealand in international cricket which might tempt the management to start the batting lineup with these two players.
Rachin Ravindra might not have the best stats in the T20 format but will be confident after emerging as the player of the tournament in the Champions Trophy. Conway being his senior and teammate can also guide him to find his feet in the format.
