Analysis of Mukesh Choudhary’s IPL Performance
Mukesh Choudhary had a breakout season in 2022, where he picked up 16 wickets in 13 matches with best bowling figures of 4/46. His ability to swing the ball early in the innings and strike at a decent rate (17.06) made him a reliable asset for CSK. However, he played only one match in 2024, which limited his opportunities to showcase his skills.
While his economy rate of 9.7 indicates room for improvement, his wicket-taking ability in the powerplay makes him a key player for CSK.
Mukesh Choudhary’s Role in Chennai Super Kings for IPL 2025
Returning to Chennai Super Kings for the 2025 season, Mukesh Choudhary will look to reclaim his form from the 2022 season. His left-arm pace and ability to swing the ball will complement CSK’s experienced bowling lineup. With guidance from the team’s seasoned mentors, Mukesh has the potential to deliver impactful performances in IPL 2025.
