Mukesh Choudhary has quietly become one of Chennai Super Kings’ most reliable new-ball weapons across three IPL seasons with the franchise. Handed the new ball in 16 innings, the left-armer has struck 17 times and owns three hauls of three wickets or more, proving his knack for breaking partnerships at the death. His career-best figures of 4 for 29 underline his ability to turn a game in one fiery spell. Operating at a brisk strike rate of 18.53 balls per wicket, Mukesh keeps batters guessing while maintaining a boundary-ball economy that hovers just under ten runs an over—no mean feat on the batting-friendly decks of Chepauk. Although his batting remains a footnote—six runs in two fleeting stays—his real value lies in the 315 balls of left-arm swing and clever change-ups that have cost only 522 runs. With CSK retaining him for IPL 2025, expect Mukesh Choudhary to keep tormenting top orders and adding fresh entries to his growing highlight reel of three-wicket bursts.
