Chennai Super Kings is hosting Punjab Kings today in their den, Chepauk. Well, CSK's chances for the playoffs are almost dead; they still need to win all remaining matches. Meanwhile, Punjab Kings are still in a stable position, and with Delhi Capitals loosing last night, it has been easier for the Shersquad. Punjab Kings won the toss and decided to bowl first. The captain, Shreyas Iyer, informed that Glenn Maxwell has fractured his finger, but he hasn't thought about the replacement yet. With that, Maxwell is ruled out for the rest of the matches in the 2025 IPL. And quite usually, MS Dhoni literally took seconds to start speaking due to the loud roar taking up the ambience in Chepauk Stadium. Clarifying that Chennai will be playing the same team today, he just dropped another dilemma regarding his future in IPL! Here's what the captains said: Shreyas Iyer: We're going to bowl first. We'll focus on our process. Our preparations have been intact. Boys are in high spirits and looking forward for a great game. Unfortunate that he's got a fractured finger (Maxwell). Haven't decided on a replacement so far. MS Dhoni: I don't know I'm coming for the next game (laughs). One of the things is the pride factor. Majority of the games you play at home. Home advantage is very important which we haven't been able to capitalise on. Same team. We've been a side where we don't make a lot of changes. But this season we've made a lot of changes. Reason is simple. If most of your players are doing well, then you chop and change 1-2 players. But this season it hasn't worked for us. It's also the first season after a fresh auction. So you have something in mind but you have to see where a batter is suited better.
