Chennai Super Kings will take on Punjab Kings for a second clash in IPL 2025 at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on April 30, starting at 7:30 PM IST. CSK are almost out of the tournament, while PBKS still need more victories to officially qualify for the play-offs.
In IPL history, CSK and PBKS have had 31 outings, out of which Chennai are in a slight lead with 16 victories, while Punjab has won only 15 matches. However, when they played against each other at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, they share four victories each. However, a recent clash between these franchises proved that PBKS are a rising team as they defeated CSK in their first clash of the tournament at their home ground. Now, CSK have played nine matches, winning two and losing seven, while PBKS won five and lost three out of nine games.Â
Over the years, the performance standards have been intact for all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja and skipper MS Dhoni. In the ongoing season, Shivam Dube emerged as the highest run-getter for the team. Among bowlers, Noor Ahmad has been consistent throughout the tournament. For PBKS, Arshdeep Singh is the highest-wicket taker for the franchise, while Priyansh Arya and skipper Shreyas Iyer have been outstanding against most teams.
