MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are hosting the Shreyas Iyer-led Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the high-octane match of IPL 2025 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.
CSK are having one of their worst campaigns in the history of the Indian Premier League and are languishing at the bottom of the points table with just two wins in nine matches.
Also, they have never lost more than four games at home in an IPL season before. However, if the trend of poor home performances continues against Punjab Kings, MS Dhoni & Co. will be officially knocked out of the playoffs race. With this, CSK will hit a historic low, as they have never missed out on the knockouts for two consecutive seasons before.
Overall, CSK have already used 21 players this season and are aiming to build a young core for the next year, with the likes of Ayush Mhatre, Dewald Brevis, and Matheesha Pathirana being at the forefront.
Although PBKS are flying high, they have some problems with the middle-order batters not firing and the bowlers not delivering as a collective unit.
Talking about the head-to-head record, the Chennai Super Kings hold a slight 16-15 edge over the Punjab Kings in the Indian Premier League history. However, Punjab Kings have dominated the 5-time champions in the last few years, winning six of the last seven matches.
"We're going to bowl first. We'll focus on our process."
"One of the things is the pride factor. Home advantage is very important which we haven't been able to capitalise on. Same team."
