IPL 2026 Auction: Three Batters CSK Can Target From T20 Mumbai League 2025 – Cricket.com

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) had a terrible Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, finishing at the bottom of the points table for the first time in their history. However, they made some superb replacement signings in the second half of the tournament – Ayush Mhatre, Dewald Brevis, and Urvil Patel – which helped them end their season on a promising note.
The three young batters impressed everyone with their aggressive style of play and are expected to serve CSK well in the coming years. Meanwhile, senior players like Deepak Hooda, Rahul Tripathi, Vijay Shankar, and Devon Conway underperformed significantly and are likely to be released ahead of the next auction.
With vacancies expected in the batting line-up, CSK could look to fill those spots by targeting batters who performed well in the recently concluded T20 Mumbai League 2025.
(271 runs at an average of 54.2 and a strike rate of 132.8)
We have to start with the leading run-getter of the T20 Mumbai League 2025. Batting at No.3 for Mumbai South Central Maratha Royals, Sutar hit three fifties in seven games, including one in the final, which his team won by five wickets. The 28-year-old’s biggest strength is he can play according to the situation and CSK have always preferred such batters in their unit.  
(233 runs at an average of 58.25 and a strike rate of 150.3)
CSK already have quite a few top-order batters in their set-up, so there’s a high possibility that they might target middle-order batters in the next auction. Despite batting at Nos. 4 and 5 for Eagle Thane Strikers, Patil finished the tournament as the third-highest run-scorer. The 28-year-old, who has played a few white-ball games for Mumbai, also claimed seven wickets at an economy of 7.4. Now, who doesn’t love a fast-bowling all-rounder in their T20 set-up? 
(149 runs at an average of 49.67 and a strike rate of 165.6)
The 18-year-old spin-bowling all-rounder was one of the finds of the T20 Mumbai League 2025. He batted in four different positions for runners-up SoBo Mumbai Falcons and finished the tournament with the best strike rate (at least 100 runs). More than 50 percent of his runs came via sixes. Even in the final, the youngster slammed 45* off 28. What’s more, he also picked up three wickets in 11 overs at an economy of 6.8 with his legspin.
