CSK Adds Firepower: Urvil Patel Joins After Bedi’s Injury Exit
Going forward in IPL 2025, the Chennai Super Kings selected Gujarat wicketkeeper-batter Urvil Patel as their replacement for the injured Vansh Bedi at his base price of INR 30 lakhs. Patel signed up with Chennai Super Kings as their new player at his predetermined INR 30 lakh price after Bedi sustained an ankle ligament tear. The acquired InR 55 lakh purchase from last year’s mega auction had failed to yield a match appearance for Bedi throughout this season at CSK. The inclusion of Urvil Patel to CSK during their difficult campaign happened after they became the first team to miss out on the playoffs.
