On Friday, April 11, Chennai will host Match 25 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 between the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). Due to an elbow injury, CSK's captain, Ruturaj Gaikwad, will be out for the remainder of the season; consequently, MS Dhoni will take over as captain.
After winning their season opening match, CSK has lost four straight games. They have simply failed to gel as a team since defeating the Mumbai Indians by four wickets. They have lost all of their games while chasing totals. KKR has already played five games, winning two and losing three. They have appeared to have a well-balanced composition despite their inconsistent start to the season. They would be eager to return with a victory in this match, much like CSK.
