Batter Shaik Rasheed joins the list of debutants for the Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League as the youngster takes to the field against Lucknow Super Giants at the Ekana Stadium on Monday.
The 20-year-old batter from Andhra was picked by the Super Kings in the IPL 2025 auction for INR 30 lakh. Rasheed has been part of the CSK camp since 2023 but had not played a single game over the last two seasons.
The young batter rose to fame after being part of the India U19 team that won the U19 World Cup in 2022. He has since been a mainstay in the Andhra batting lineup, scoring 1204 First-Class runs in 19 matches at an average of 46.04.
He has also played 17 T20 encounters, scoring 352 runs at 29.33 and a strike rate of 127.07. CSK will hope the right-hander batter can provide some stability in the top of the order, a facet that the team has been struggling in this season.
