Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will host Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in Match No. 25 at MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai, on April 11, starting at 7:30 PM IST. Unbelievably, CSK are positioned almost at the bottom, while KKR have had victory after each loss. Despite their standings in the points table, this match is the most anticipated one, as they are the oldest rivals of IPL 2025.
CSK have played 5 matches, winning just 1 and losing 4 games in a row. In a recent clash, CSK were invited to field first by Punajb Kings who secured an 18-run victory. No strategy worked against the new PBKS star of IPL, Priyansh Arya’s maiden ton that powered his team to 219/6. In reply, CSK’s opener Devon Conway scored 69 off 49 balls before getting retired out, but still the match turned upside down for CSK. In the next match, CSK will aim for a swift recovery.
On the other hand, KKR have 5 games as well, winning 2 and losing 3. Defending champions KKR’s position is convincingly not well as the team is dragged to the mid of the points table. In a recent clash, KKR faced LSG, ending up reaching their highest total (238/3) of IPL 2025. In a tough chase, skipper Ajinkya Rahane (61 off 35 balls) pushed KKR to 234, losing their 7 wickets, but couldn’t finish the game on a winning note as LSG won by 4 runs. Again, KKR will have the expectations from fans to play as the reigning champion.
