CSK have signed Gujarat wicketkeeper-batter Urvil Patel as replacement for wicketkeeper-batter Vansh Bedi, who has been ruled out of remainder of IPL 2025 owing to a ligament tear in left ankle. Urvil had smashed the joint-fastest T20 hundred by an Indian off 28 balls in a Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy match last year. Urvil has a T20 strike-rate of 170.38.
