CSK Players Jersey Numbers 1 to 100: Complete Chennai Super Kings Guide

CSK players jersey numbers are best read with the player and season together. This guide covers the documented IPL 2026 season listing and selected historical listings from 2013, 2014, 2018 and 2020–2026, with a cutoff of 29 October 2026. It shows every position from 1 to 100 without claiming to reconstruct every IPL season or match appearance. “No verified assignment found” means that the selected record does not establish a player-number pairing; it does not mean that CSK has retired or formally left that number unused.

The season distinction changes the answer for familiar shirts. MS Dhoni is No. 7 in the 2026 listing, Ruturaj Gaikwad is No. 31, Shivam Dube is No. 25 and Sanju Samson is No. 11. Ravindra Jadeja’s No. 8 belongs to his documented CSK seasons through 2025, while Devon Conway’s No. 88 belongs to 2022–2025 and Jamie Overton’s No. 88 is a separate 2025–2026 listing. Ramakrishna Ghosh is confirmed at No. 1 and Macneil Noronha at No. 27 in the 2026 table. A franchise shirt number is not a database ID, an international number or proof of a match appearance. Numbers such as 333, 103, 800 and 451 are outside this 1–100 directory and are not treated as confirmed CSK IPL assignments here.

Key takeaways

• The directory includes all 100 positions and keeps shared numbers on separate, season-qualified rows.
• A 2026 season listing is not a 2027 squad confirmation and does not erase a separate withdrawal or replacement note.
• Historical names such as Raina, Jadeja, Bravo, Chahar, Conway and Pathirana are not automatically members of the 2026 group.
• A missing row is not proof that a number is retired or officially unused.
• For a purchase, match the player name, number and season instead of relying on a generic CSK or international list.

How to use this CSK jersey number guide

A search for a CSK number usually asks for one simple pairing: which player belongs on a shirt carrying that number? The answer can change by season. A team may retain a number for years, a later player may use it after an earlier player leaves, and a roster can record a withdrawal or replacement without changing the number shown in a season table. That is why this guide prints the season beside each association.

The labels have narrow meanings. “2026 season listing” identifies a player-number entry for the documented IPL 2026 scope; it is not a promise about an unannounced 2027 campaign. “Historical season listing” identifies a selected earlier association. “Not verified” describes the limits of the record used for the directory, not an official retirement decision. The selected seasons give useful early, return-season and modern context: 2013 and 2014, the 2018 return, and the 2020–2026 run. They are not an all-time archive.

A CSK franchise number should also be kept separate from a national or domestic number. The same player may wear different numbers for different teams, while a customized fan shirt can carry any chosen name and number. The table below is limited to the CSK IPL associations in the stated seasons. Readers comparing teams can use the RCB players jersey numbers 1 to 100 guide and KKR players jersey numbers 1 to 100 guide. The Indian cricket jersey numbers 1 to 100 directory covers international-shirt context rather than CSK assignments.

Complete CSK jersey number list from 1 to 100

The following directory preserves every position from 1 through 100. Shared numbers are listed separately with their associated seasons, and blank-evidence rows retain the wording “No verified assignment found.” Current-season rows and historical rows should not be merged into one permanent ownership claim.

What the directory shows at a glance

The list is easier to understand as a sequence of eras than as a set of permanent owners. No. 7 is Dhoni’s 2026 association, but the table also records Krishnappa Gowtham in 2021 and Sameer Rizvi in 2024. No. 8 includes Kedar Jadhav and Jadeja in different periods; No. 9 moves from Ambati Rayudu’s long association to Gurjapneet Singh in 2025–2026; and No. 88 moves from Conway to Overton.

The 2026 number group includes Matt Short at No. 2, Kuldip Yadav at No. 10, Samson at No. 11, Brevis at No. 12, Noor at No. 15, Rahul Chahar at No. 17, Dube at No. 25, Gaikwad at No. 31, Urvil Patel at No. 37, Spencer Johnson at No. 45, Ayush Mhatre at No. 56, Khaleel Ahmed at No. 71, Mukesh Choudhary at No. 90 and Sarfaraz Khan at No. 97. The table also confirms Ramakrishna Ghosh at No. 1 and Macneil Noronha at No. 27 for the 2026 season listing. These entries are season-specific, not predictions about 2027.

Akeal Hosein and Akash Madhwal are held or absent from the confirmed-number rows in this guide, so no number is assigned to either player. Separate roster-status notes can mention withdrawals and replacements without changing the confirmed table. No. 21, like the other “No verified assignment found” rows, must not be filled by inference.

Notable CSK player profiles and number eras

MS Dhoni — No. 7 and the franchise wicketkeeper-batter identity

MS Dhoni’s No. 7 is the clearest long-running CSK association in the selected seasons: 2013–2014, 2018 and 2020–2026. He is an India wicketkeeper-batter whose franchise identity spans the early years, the 2018 return and the later title-winning seasons. CSK’s documented titles came in 2010, 2011, 2018, 2021 and 2023, with Dhoni at the centre of the leadership story.

The 2018 return is a useful dated example. Dhoni scored 455 runs at a strike rate above 150 as CSK returned from its two-season suspension and won the title. Ruturaj Gaikwad took over the captaincy in 2024, while Dhoni returned to the leadership role after Gaikwad’s 2025 injury. Those changes show why a jersey guide should identify the season rather than label every older name “current.” Dhoni has explained his personal connection to seven through his 7 July birth date; that is his own reason and not a universal explanation for CSK numbers.

Ruturaj Gaikwad — No. 31 from breakthrough batter to 2026 captain

Ruturaj Gaikwad’s No. 31 is recorded continuously from 2020 through 2026. The India batter debuted for CSK in 2020 and made 635 runs in the 2021 title season, winning the Orange Cap. His composed strokeplay and ability to build an innings became central to the batting shape.

The number also spans a leadership transition. Gaikwad became captain in 2024, handed leadership back after an elbow injury in 2025, and was confirmed as captain for the documented 2026 season. No. 31 should be read as a franchise-season association, not as a personal-number origin story. For later roster context, the CSK 2027 retained, released and trade players list answers a different question and is not proof that a number changed.

Ravindra Jadeja — No. 8 through his documented CSK run

Ravindra Jadeja is listed at No. 8 in 2013–2014, 2018 and 2020–2025. The India all-rounder was a major multi-skill player across a 12-season CSK association, contributing as a left-hand batter, left-arm spinner and high-impact fielder. He is also recorded as the franchise’s second-highest IPL wicket-taker.

His 2023 contribution gives the number a memorable sporting context: Jadeja took 20 wickets in the title campaign and hit the winning four in the final. He briefly led the side in 2022 and moved to Rajasthan Royals before IPL 2026, so No. 8 is historical CSK context in this guide. The table also shows Kedar Jadhav at No. 8 in 2018 and 2020; those rows describe different seasons, not simultaneous ownership.

Suresh Raina — No. 3 and the middle-order era

Suresh Raina’s selected CSK entries place him at No. 3 in 2013–2014, 2018 and 2021. He is an India middle-order batter credited with 4,687 CSK runs across an association covering 2008–2015 and 2018–2021, with a Gujarat Lions period during the franchise’s suspension.

His value came from left-hand aggression, running between wickets and the ability to support both a powerplay platform and late acceleration. Raina opted out of IPL 2020, so this article makes no playing-appearance claim for that season. A Raina No. 3 shirt represents a historical CSK era and should not be sold or described as a 2026 current-squad item.

Dwayne Bravo — No. 47, death overs and the post-playing transition

Dwayne Bravo appears at No. 47 in the selected 2013–2014, 2018 and 2020–2022 listings. The West Indies all-rounder became closely associated with CSK’s death-overs plans through slower balls and other variations, lower-order hitting and athletic fielding. He took 32 wickets in IPL 2013 and 26 in 2015, leading the wickets table in both seasons.

His IPL playing retirement was announced on 2 December 2022, followed by a CSK bowling-coach role for the 2023 season. That chronology must not be shifted to 2021, and the historical No. 47 row is not a claim about a current coaching position. No. 47 later appears with Anshul Kamboj in 2025–2026, illustrating succession across eras.

Deepak Chahar — No. 56 and the powerplay swing role

Deepak Chahar’s controlling directory association is No. 56 for 2018 and 2020–2024. The India bowler developed into a CSK powerplay swing specialist, using movement and disciplined lengths to seek early wickets. His documented CSK period includes title seasons in 2018, 2021 and 2023, while his 2019 season brought 22 wickets.

He also made a notable 2018 batting contribution with 39 from 20 balls. The record used here lists 76 CSK wickets before his release ahead of IPL 2025, so this is a historical profile rather than a 2026 roster claim. No. 90 is separately occupied in the table by Mukesh Choudhary and Mustafizur Rahman; Deepak Chahar’s final table entry is No. 56.

Shivam Dube — No. 25 and the middle-overs power role

Shivam Dube is listed at No. 25 from 2022 through 2026. The India all-rounder developed a clear CSK role as a middle-overs six-hitting specialist, especially against spin. He made 289 runs in 2022, 418 in 2023 and 396 in 2024, with a strike rate above 150 in each of those seasons.

The multi-season row shows continuity from his arrival, while the 2026 entry supports the current-scope association. It is still a season listing, not a permanent franchise assignment beyond the cutoff. Including role and nationality makes the number more useful than a bare player-name list: a fan can identify both the shirt and the batting job associated with it.

Devon Conway — No. 88 before the 2026 change

Devon Conway appears at No. 88 in the 2022–2025 CSK listings. The New Zealand wicketkeeper-batter made 252 runs in seven matches during his 2022 IPL debut and then produced 672 runs in the 2023 title season. His Player-of-the-Match performance in the final made him one of the most recognisable recent CSK batting names.

His 2024 injury absence and 2025 return help identify the era represented by a Conway No. 88 jersey. In the 2025–2026 table, No. 88 is also assigned to Jamie Overton, so the number is not a timeless synonym for Conway. The player name, number and season together identify the intended shirt.

Sanju Samson — No. 11 for the documented 2026 CSK season

Sanju Samson is a 2026 CSK profile, listed as an India wicketkeeper-batter at No. 11. The documented 2026 season record gives him 477 runs in 14 matches. His earlier franchise achievements should remain separate from his CSK contribution, because the No. 11 entry answers the CSK question for the specified season rather than transferring a number from another team.

The table also records Richard Gleeson at No. 11 for 2024. That is another reminder that a recent number can have more than one season association and that Samson’s 2026 listing does not confirm an unannounced 2027 roster.

Noor Ahmad — No. 15 across 2025 and 2026

Noor Ahmad is listed as an Afghanistan bowler at No. 15 for CSK in 2025 and 2026. He took 24 wickets in 14 matches in 2025 and 13 wickets in 14 matches in 2026. Those are season figures, not a career total or a prediction about a later squad.

Noor’s entry also demonstrates why overseas players need the same season discipline as Indian players. A franchise shirt number is separate from an international shirt number. The useful public answer here is the CSK number, role, nationality and the two documented seasons, without inventing a reason for the number.

2026 CSK listings versus historical players

The 2026 portion is a season snapshot, not a statement that every name in the full directory remains available. It includes Dhoni, Gaikwad, Samson, Dube, Noor, Brevis, Rahul Chahar, Kuldip Yadav, Urvil Patel, Mukesh Choudhary and others. Jadeja, Raina, Bravo, Chahar, Conway, Pathirana and many more appear because their earlier number associations explain CSK’s jersey history.

Roster status and shirt-number status should be kept separate. Dated 2026 squad information records Khaleel Ahmed withdrawn with Kuldip Yadav as replacement, Ayush Mhatre withdrawn with Akash Madhwal as replacement, Jamie Overton withdrawn with Dian Forrester as replacement, and Nathan Ellis withdrawn with Spencer Johnson as replacement. The table can still preserve season-specific number listings; those notes describe availability or movement, not a new number assignment. Ramakrishna Ghosh remains a confirmed No. 1 table listing and Macneil Noronha a confirmed No. 27 table listing, even though the same dated roster material distinguishes Ramakrishna’s withdrawal and Macneil’s replacement status.

Akeal Hosein and Akash Madhwal remain held or absent from confirmed-number rows, so this article assigns neither player a number. Spencer Johnson and Kuldip Yadav have 2026 number rows, but a row alone should not be read as uninterrupted availability. The 2026 scope is also not a 2027 announcement; the full IPL 2027 retained, released and trade players list is roster context, not jersey-number proof.

Shared numbers, number changes and what they mean

The table gives several clear season-to-season examples:

• No. 1 is associated with Murali Vijay in 2013, 2018 and 2020, and Ramakrishna Ghosh in 2025–2026.
• No. 7 includes Dhoni, Krishnappa Gowtham and Sameer Rizvi in their respective listed seasons.
• No. 9 moves from Ambati Rayudu’s 2018 and 2020–2023 period to Gurjapneet Singh in 2025–2026.
• No. 10 includes Chaitanya Bishnoi, Moeen Ali, Rajvardhan Hangargekar and Kuldip Yadav across different seasons.
• No. 21 has no verified assignment in the final directory and should not be filled by inference.
• No. 24 includes Tushar Deshpande in 2022–2024 and Matt Henry in 2026, alongside earlier associations.
• No. 33 includes Mark Wood, Shane Watson and Subramaniam Badrinath; Mukesh Choudhary’s confirmed later entry is No. 90.
• No. 47 moves from Bravo’s historical period to Anshul Kamboj in 2025–2026.
• No. 56 includes Ayush Mhatre, Ben Laughlin, Deepak Chahar and Ishwar Pandey in their listed seasons.
• No. 88 moves from Conway in 2022–2025 to Overton in 2025–2026, while No. 90 includes Mukesh Choudhary and Mustafizur Rahman.

These changes show only that different season records contain different associations. They do not prove that a number is retired, reserved or permanently handed over. The number and year should remain attached to every historical player reference.

How to verify a CSK jersey before buying

Start with the season. A shirt described as a 2026 match jersey should be checked against the 2026 listing, while a retro shirt should be checked against the historical year it represents. Do not buy a No. 88 shirt assuming it must say Conway: the 2025–2026 table also identifies Overton at No. 88.

Check the player name and number together. “CSK 7” commonly points to Dhoni in the reviewed modern period, but the directory records other No. 7 associations. “CSK 11” may point to Samson for 2026 or Gleeson for 2024. The name panel and the season are more informative than the number alone.

Separate a named-player product from customization. A customizable shirt lets a fan enter a preferred name and number; that option does not establish a squad assignment. A product carrying a player’s name should still be matched to the season and table. If the number is absent, retain “No verified assignment found” rather than guessing from another team.

For broader role context, the most dangerous bowler in IPL comparison and most dangerous all-rounder in IPL comparison may help with cricket terminology, but neither is a substitute for the CSK directory.

Frequently asked questions about CSK jersey numbers

Who is listed as CSK No. 7 for the 2026 season?

MS Dhoni is listed at No. 7 for the documented 2026 CSK season. The table also records Krishnappa Gowtham in 2021 and Sameer Rizvi in 2024, so the season label still matters.

What is Ruturaj Gaikwad’s CSK jersey number?

Ruturaj Gaikwad is listed at No. 31 from 2020 through 2026, including the documented 2026 captaincy season. That is a CSK franchise number in the season records, not an international-shirt inference.

What is Sanju Samson’s CSK number?

Sanju Samson is listed at No. 11 for CSK in IPL 2026. He is treated here as a 2026 CSK wicketkeeper-batter, without transferring his earlier franchise number history into the CSK record.

What is Shivam Dube’s CSK jersey number?

Shivam Dube is listed at No. 25 for 2022–2026. His CSK role has been a powerful middle-overs all-rounder, particularly against spin.

Did CSK jersey numbers change between seasons?

Yes. The directory shows shared or changed numbers including Rayudu and Gurjapneet at No. 9, Bravo and Anshul Kamboj at No. 47, Conway and Jamie Overton at No. 88, and different players at Nos. 24, 56 and 90.

Does a missing assignment mean that CSK has retired the number?

No. It means that this guide did not establish a player-number pairing for the selected seasons. It is not evidence of retirement, reservation or permanent non-use.

Is Ravindra Jadeja a current CSK player in this guide?

No. Jadeja is a historical CSK No. 8 association through the 2025 listing. The 2026 scope records his move away from CSK before that season, so the No. 8 row is not a 2026 squad confirmation.

Is Dwayne Bravo still being described as a CSK player or coach here?

Bravo is included as a historical No. 47 all-rounder. His IPL playing retirement was announced in December 2022 and his CSK bowling-coach role was for the 2023 season; this article makes no claim about a current coaching position.

Can I use a player’s international jersey number for a CSK shirt?

No. International, domestic and IPL franchise numbers can differ. Use the CSK player-name, number and season combination in the directory, and treat a custom fan shirt as personalization rather than assignment evidence.

Is this a 2027 CSK squad list?

No. It is a season-specific guide checked through 29 October 2026, anchored to IPL 2026 and selected historical seasons. No 2027 squad confirmation is made here.

Conclusion

The most reliable way to read a CSK jersey number is as a three-part identity: player, number and season. The 1–100 directory keeps every position visible while explaining why No. 7 can mean Dhoni in one era and another player in a different listing, why No. 88 moves from Conway to Overton, and why historical stars should not be presented as the 2026 squad.

For a purchase, check the printed year, name and number together. For research, keep 2026 listings separate from historical associations, preserve withdrawal and replacement distinctions, and leave unrecorded combinations unresolved. That gives fans a useful CSK player number list without claiming an exhaustive all-season archive or inventing certainty.
