Chennai Super Kings (CSK) take on Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in match 25 of IPL 2025 on Friday, April 11, at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. CSK and KKR are both placed in the second half of the points table.
CSK is heading into this game after four consecutive losses since they won their season opener against MI. KKR, on the other hand, lost their previous game to LSG by just four runs in a high-scoring encounter in Kolkata.
Both teams are heading into must-win territory with the season approaching the halfway mark. Ajinkya Rahane will lead KKR. Meanwhile, CSK have appointed MS Dhoni as the captain for the rest of the season after Ruturaj Gaikwad was ruled out with an injury.

CSK vs KKR Match Preview
Chennai Super Kings are placed ninth on the points table. They desperately need to notch up a few wins to move up the points table. Ruturaj Gaikwad was batting well for CSK. However, his captaincy skills were not helping the team to win matches at home. The Chepauk is the fortress for CSK, and Chennai losing games at home certainly pinpointed a few concern areas. MS Dhoni back as CSK captain might just be the change the franchise needed. With Gaikwad ruled out, Rahul Tripathi might come back into the side. It will be interesting to see where he bats.
On the other hand, problems are mounting for KKR. Ajinkya Rahane refrained from commenting on the Eden pitch, highlighting the point that the side has not been given home advantage in the season so far. The other big concern has been the form of Andre Russell. He has hardly contributed with the bat so far, and the KKR management has been guilty of holding him back way too late in recent games. The match against LSG was a perfect opportunity for him to bat up the order, but he came in after the likes of Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Ramandeep Singh and Rinku Singh. The other major debate has been the bowling form of Spencer Johnson. At the Chepauk, the wise move will be to bring back Moeen Ali in place of the pacer and play three spinners on a track that aids spin.
CSK vs KKR Head To Head
CSK and KKR have faced each other in 30 matches in IPL. The Super Kings have won 19 matches while the Knight Riders have won 10. CSK has won five out of the last seven games against KKR.
