The 25th match of IPL 2025 will face off at M. A. Chidambaram Stadium between CSK and KKR on April 11, 2025(7: 30 PM). Both teams packed with explosive batters and crafty bowlers and this promises to be a thrilling match.

CSK has been in poor form early this season and has lost four of its last five matches. Their batting lineup, featuring the likes of Devon Conway, Ruturaj Gaikwad, and Shivam Dube, has been consistent, while their spin-heavy bowling attack, led by Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin, has been effective on slow pitches. On the other hand, KKR win 2 of their last five matches, with their middle order heavily reliant on Rinku Singh and Andre Russell to finish games.

The Chepauk pitch has historically assisted spinners, with the ball gripping and turning sharply as the match progresses. In the middle overs, batsmen must exercise caution because premature.

Strokes frequently result in dismissals. Here, teams that bat first have won 60% of games, so the toss is very important. If dew sets in, chasing becomes slightly easier, but the sluggish nature of the pitch still makes stroke-making difficult.
