IPL 2025: The 25th match of the 18th season of IPL 2025 will be played between Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders today. After the injury of regular captain Rituraj Gaikwad, Chennai Super Kings will have to overcome the tough challenge of Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the match played here on Friday to get their campaign on track in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Gaikwad has been ruled out of the rest of the IPL season due to fracture in the elbow, so experienced wicketkeeper-batsman MS Dhoni will once again take over the team. Chennai, who has been bored with a consecutive defeat, has lost four out of five matches so far, due to which this match is very important for him.
He lost his last match against Punjab Kings by 18 runs. The Chennai team will now play on their home ground with the aim of changing their luck. However, he has not yet got as much help from the wicket as earlier. Chennai’s head coach Stephen Fleming openly expressed his displeasure over the pitch after a major defeat against Royal Challengers Bangalore.
The good performance at Chennai’s home ground has played an important role in his previous success but now the pitch here has changed a lot and his players are unable to adapt to it. If Chennai has to get his campaign back on track, then his players will have to mold the situation as soon as possible.
Everyone’s eyes are again on Dhoni ..
Not only this, their spinners also have to find a way to succeed. Everyone’s eyes will once again be on Mahendra Singh Dhoni. In the last match against Punjab Kings, he scored 27 off 12 balls, including three sixes and a four. The good thing for the Chennai team is that batsmen like Devon Conway, Rachin Ravindra and Shivam Dubey have indicated to get a rhythm but need a big innings from captain Ruturaj Gaikwad. Chennai’s bowling attack will remain the same. Khalil Ahmed, Mukesh Chaudhary and Mathisha Pathirana will take over the responsibility of fast bowling, while Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja and Noor Ahmed will take responsibility for spin bowling. Talking about Knight Riders, after the defeat against Lucknow Super Giants three days ago, they will once again try to return to the victory track and would like to return to the victory track before it is too late.
