Chennai Super Kings (CSK) made a last-minute replacement to their playing XI for the match against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL 2025).
A screenshot of the CSK team sheet doing rounds on the social media reveals that 22-year-old wicketkeeper-batter Vansh Bedi, who was acquired by the five-time winners for INR 55 lakhs at the auction was supposed to make his debut.
However, the CSK management in the final minutes omitted Bedi and opted to go with Deepak Hooda instead.
This season, CSK team has faced difficulties in finding a right combination, frequently chopping and changing their roster. The team has also come under scrutiny for overlooking young talents such as Vanshi Bedi and Kamlesh Nagarkoti, drawing criticism for their reluctance to give these young guns opportunities.
