Devon Conway or Rachin Ravindra: Who will CSK pick via RTM for IPL 2025

Ahead of the highly anticipated mega auction, set to take place soon, franchisees have the opportunity to retain a maximum of six players from their current squads. This year, teams will benefit from a significantly increased auction purse, which has been raised to ₹120 crore. This enhancement not only allows franchises to maintain a stronger core of talent but also boosts their ability to compete for some of the league’s most talented players during the auction. So Let’s have a look at Devon Conway or Rachin Ravindra.

Chennai Super Kings announced their list of retained players for the upcoming season. They have retained four capped players: Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ravindra Jadeja, Matheesha Pathirana, and Shivam Dube. Additionally, MS Dhoni has been retained as an uncapped player. With a total of five players retained, a question arises: Who will CSK select using the Right to Match (RTM) card in the IPL mega auction?

What is an RTM card?

The Right to Match (RTM) card lets franchises keep a player they lost by matching the highest bid in an auction. For example, if Rajasthan Royals buys Rishabh Pant, Delhi Capitals can use their RTM card to match RR’s bid and bring Pant back to their team.

RTM Card Strategy: Devon Conway vs Rachin Ravindra?

Recent reports indicate that Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are contemplating the strategic option of using a Right to Match (RTM) card in the upcoming player auctions, with a particular focus on either Devon Conway or Rachin Ravindra. Both players from New Zealand have showcased impressive cricketing skills, making notable contributions in international competitions as well as various domestic leagues and franchise tournaments.

Sources familiar with the situation, as disclosed to a representative from The Times of India (TOI), suggest that CSK may prefer Devon Conway over Rachin Ravindra for the RTM option. This preference is primarily due to Conway’s added advantage as a wicketkeeper, which provides essential versatility to the team. His overall performances and ability to contribute as both a batsman and a wicketkeeper potentially give him the upper hand in CSK’s considerations for the upcoming season.
