The Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will face each other in the 25th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 today at the MA Chidambaram Stadium.

Chennai won their first match of the season at home but have lost four matches in a row since then. They are currently in 9th place with just 2 points. On the other hand, Kolkata has won 2 out of their 5 matches so far. Chennai’s net run rate is -0.889, while KKR’s is -0.056.

Ruturaj Gaikwad Ruled Out Due to Injury

The Chennai Super Kings have suffered a big blow ahead of the match. Regular captain Ruturaj Gaikwad has been ruled out of IPL 2025 due to an elbow injury. He has a hairline fracture. In his absence, MS Dhoni will once again lead the team.

Rachin Ravindra is Chennai’s top run-scorer this season, while Shivam Dube has scored just over 100 runs so far. The team has made several changes in the batting lineup, but they have yet to find the right combination.

CSK Bowlers Struggling for Impact

Chennai’s bowling attack has looked weak this season. Only Afghanistan spinner Noor Ahmed has performed well, picking up 11 wickets so far. Other bowlers like Mathisha Pathirana, Ravindra Jadeja, and Ravichandran Ashwin have been expensive and failed to take key wickets. Rahul Tripathi may be included in the playing XI in place of Ruturaj Gaikwad. Kolkata, on the other hand, may bring in Moeen Ali for this match.
