By SRTeam In the IPL 2025 auctions, you must have seen that CSK (Chennai Super Kings) bid for and went for a young player from the Tamil Nadu national team, right? Well, yes, we’re talking about C Andre Siddarth, and as per many experts out there, he could very well be a good pick for the team, even though he didn’t get any chance in the IPL to show his skills. Let’s talk about this young player a little more to see his life story a bit up close.

Personal Life
Talking about his life story first, well, C Andre Siddarth was born in Chennai on August 28, 2006, so, as of April 2025, he’s just 18 years old, probably one of the youngest squad members for CSK in IPL 2025. Though he’s been performing super well in the national cricket series, that’s how he made his way into the CSK squad this year. A little more about the personal stuff, you see, His father, Dr. Chandrasekar, is a dentist, very fond of cricket, and helps out with training videos. Now, one who makes sounds for Andre is his uncle, Sridharan Sharath, that phenomenal Tamil Nadu batter back then, now still considered one of the top national selectors.
What we know so far about him is that he started training super young, and that’s how he’s been able to sharpen his skills so much that now a big team like CSK has taken an interest in him.
Professional Life and IPL Career
To be honest, Andre’s cricketing journey has been kinda super fast if you look at it from a zoomed-out perspective! Like, he has jumped into the Tamil Nadu Premier League with Chepauk Super Gillies and hardly three months later joined the Ranji Trophy with Tamil Nadu. Just so you know, why experts are taking a look at his ability to score big is that in his first six games, he went on to score 4 fifties, which is a super impressive thing for a batter of his age. Other than that, he also played a big part in bringing the Cooch Behar Under-19 trophy for Tamil Nadu, and even certainly grabbed a place in India’s Under-19 Asia Cup team.
And finally, the big moment came in his life when the IPL 2025 auctions started, that’s when Chennai Super Kings signed him up at a very cool ₹30 lakh during the IPL 2025 auction. Sure, he’s not in the team right now, but he is very well part of the squad in this 18th season of IPL.
