Young inauguration batsman Prithvi Shaw has speculated about joining Chennai Super Kings (CSK) before IPL 2026. The Right-Hand batsmen have raised an expectation among fans, especially when he has recently joined CSK captain Ruturaj Gikwad in the Maharashtra team.
Prithvi Shaw has faced a challenging stage with failures in his cricket career. He was excluded from Mumbai’s Ranji Trophy and Vijay Hazare Squad and was unseeded in the IPL 2025 auction, which raised questions about his commitment. Shaw was once postponed as a future star, but has been criticized for his attitude.

CSK IPL 2025 to sign Prithvi Shaw to revive the team after the crisis
Meanwhile, the five -time champion Chennai Super Kings had a forgetful season in the IPL 2025. They ended at the bottom of the table with just four wins out of 14 matches. The team struggled with batting for most of the season, but finally showed only a slight improvement.
The initial combination of CSK failed to provide a solid start, and the initial injury of Captain Ruturaj Gikwad further weakened this side. Players like Rahul Tripathi, Rachin Rabindra, and Devon Conway struggled at the top, forcing the team to experiment with openers like Sheikh Rashid and Ayush Mahetre.
CSK needs an aggressive opener who can attack the bowlers. Shaw, with its attacker style, can be an ideal fit, while the Gaekwad going to number three will add stability and depth to the middle order.
