Chennai Super Kings’ Ravichandran Ashwin (Pi Photo/R Sentilkucar) R Ashwin is ready for partial ways with Chennai Super Kings before the upcoming IPL season, which means the end of the second stint with his home franchise. The veteran off-spinner, who currently works as a director of operations at the CSK Academy, is also likely to give up this position to avoid any potential conflict of interest if they join another franchise.According to Cricbuzza Ashwin, the CSK management reportedly announced its decision, although the exact reasons for this department remain unclear. This development comes in the middle of recent meetings between the best CSK and players, including the current and former captains of the Dhoni and Ruturan Gaikwad in Chennai.38 -year -old Spinner returned to CSK in 2025 after a ten -year gap after it was obtained for 9.75 Crore Inr. Last season he performed in nine matches for franchise. During his career IPL since 2009 Ashwin has accumulated impressive statistics with 187 goals out of 220 matches at an economic rate of 7.29, along with 833 runs scored at a strike of 118.Ashwin’s IPL journey began with Chennai Super Kings, where he played six seasons from 2009 to 2015. After this initial stint, he represented various franchises, including Delhi Capitals, Pandjab Kings and Rajasthan Royals from 2016 to 2024, before returning to CSK.Last season, however, was not far from Ashwin’s best. He performed only in nine games for CSK, picked up only seven goals, while admitting runs at an economic rate of 9.13. He could not bring any remarkable contributions with the bat, which meant immersion in a form compared to its usually reliable versatile presence in IPL.Ashwin’s report is followed by further significant developments in the IPL district, while Samson’s reports require release from Rajasthan Royals.

Ashwin is expected to attract interest from other franchises with his extensive experience and proven results in IPL. The main question is whether he will be traded to another team or enter the auction fund for the upcoming season.Throughout his career, IPL Ashwin has shown its value as a bowler and a lower -order bat. Its economic rate of 7.29 and useful lower -order contributions emphasize its versatile T20 format abilities.This development means a significant change in the CSK list, especially due to Ashwin’s long connection with the franchise across two separate points. After his departure, the team will have to reconfigure their bowling department.
