CSK vs KKR is set to be the most-anticipated match of the IPL 2025 since our Captain Cool, MS Dhoni, is returning as captain due to Ruturaj Gaikwad being out of the IPL 2025 because of an injury. This could prove to be a turning point for CSK as they started their season with a disappointing run with only one win in five matches and being placed ninth on the points table.
The game will be played at the Chepauk Stadium, giving another advantage to CSK as they’ve had a strong win record at their home-ground winning 51 out of 75 matches. Meanwhile, KKR is in a better form comparatively, winning two out of their five matches. Needless to say, the game promises intense thrill and excitement, so let’s take a look at the key details.
