An experienced campaigner, Shreyas Gopal is a utility player who brings a lot to the table. An aggressive leg-spinner who can pick up wickets in the middle overs, Gopal can provide crucial contributions with the bat in the lower-middle order as well. He is one of those rare bowlers to have claimed an IPL hat-trick, with his scalps including Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers, and Marcus Stoinis. The Karnataka-born leg-spinner was part of the Mumbai Indians squad that lifted the IPL trophy in 2015. CSK secured him at his base price of INR 30 Lakh at the 2025 TATA IPL Auction.
