Chennai Super Kings will square off against defending champions Kolkata Knight in the 25th match of the ongoing IPL 2025 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai on Friday.
CSK has suffered a huge blow as their captain Ruturaj Gaikwad has been ruled out of the rest of the season due to a fractured elbow and MS Dhoni will return as a skipper. The five-time champions are struggling with a solitary win in five games.
On the other hand, KKR has been continuously chopping and changing their batting order and they would look to find more consistency in their batting line-up as they have managed only two wins in five games.
Stats Preview:
KKR captain Ajinkya Rahane needs five fours to complete 500 boundaries in the IPL.
Rinku Singh needs eight runs to complete 1000 runs in the tournament.
Moeen Ali needs five fours to complete 100 boundaries in the IPL.
Deepak Hooda needs 28 runs to reach the 1500-run mark in the IPL. He also needs three fours to complete 100 boundaries in the tournament.
