In a high-stakes IPL 2025 encounter, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have won the toss and elected to field against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at Chepauk. This marks the first meeting between the two sides since the IPL 2023 final, adding to the intensity of the showdown. MS Dhoni continues to lead CSK with a win percentage of 58.85% in IPL history, having captained over 150 matches.
CSK has made two changes with Ruturaj Gaikwad out due to injury and Anshul Kamboj replacing Mukesh. KKR also made a strategic swap, bringing in Moeen Ali for Spencer. Both teams have lined up strong playing XIs, with notable names like Ravindra Jadeja, Sunil Narine, and Andre Russell set to make an impact.
Ajinkya Rahane, standing in as captain for KKR, emphasized a deep batting order and a positive approach to chase. As the clock ticks down, anticipation builds for an electrifying clash under the lights.
