CSK and PBKS have announced their impact players for the 49th IPL 2025 match at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.
CSK are struggling this season, sitting at the bottom with only two wins in nine matches. If they lose to PBKS, they will miss the playoffs for the second consecutive season. CSK’s batting has been a major issue, and they are focusing on building a young team.
PBKS, with 11 points from nine matches, are performing well but have concerns with their middle-order batting and bowling. They will rely on openers Prabhsimran Singh and Priyansh Arya to lead the team.
