CSK vs KKR: Team Preview for Match 25 Chennai Super Kings (CSK) The 5-times IPL winners are badly struggling with their form this season, they are yet to register their second victory. Their only win came against their arch-rivals, the Mumbai Indians, in the first match of the IPL 2025, and they have now lost four back-to-back matches on a trot. They have subsequently lost four in a row against RCB, RR, DC, and most recently, against PBKS. All the losses were with targets of chasing 180+ runs, reflecting that CSK lacks the required firepower. Key Players of CSK: Shivam Dube, Ruturaj Gaikwad, MS Dhoni Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) KKR, on the other hand, suffered a 4-run loss in their recent match against Lucknow Super Giants at their home ground, Eden Gardens, while chasing a mammoth target of 239. They are currently placed at 6th spot in the IPL 2025 leaderboard. With a strong squad on paper, the Ajinkya Rahane-led side hasn't delivered any solid performance as per the standards of defending champions. The top order hasn't been that consistent this season, and they will look to rectify this going forward in the tournament. Key KKR Players: Vaibhav Arora, Rinku Singh, Sunil Narine Also Read | Watch: MS Dhoni’s 0.12s Stumping Dismisses Suryakumar Yadav Probable Playing XI for CSK vs KKR Match 25 CSK Expected XI: Ruturaj Gaikwad (c), Rachin Ravindra, Devon Conway, Ravindra Jadeja, MS Dhoni (wk), Vijay Shankar, Ravichandran Ashwin, Noor Ahmad, Matheesha Pathirana, Khaleel Ahmed, Shivam Dube.

Impact Subs: Vaibhav Arora, Mayank Markande, Manish Pandey, Anukul Roy Pitch & Weather Report for RCB vs DC Match 24 Pitch Report The MA Chidambaram Stadium, traditionally known for aiding spinners, offers a slow surface that allows turn and grip, making it challenging for batters to score freely. Historically, teams batting second have enjoyed a slight edge here. The average first-innings score at Chepauk stands at 161. Weather Report Chepauk is expected to be dry and humid on Friday, with temperatures around 37°C and no chance of rain. Conclusion Chennai Super Kings, even after their poor form, will enter this contest as favourites against Kolkata Knight Riders, especially because of their home crowd. KKR, on the other hand, will be eager to bounce back from their last match defeat to Lucknow Super Giants. This can be a thriller, but chances are KKR will come on top and register a victory here.
