CSK vs PBKS IPL 2025: Team Form Update
Chennai Super Kings (CSK)
MS Dhoni wapas captaincy sambhal rahe hain after Ruturaj’s injury, lekin unka recent form LLWLL raha hai. Young openers Ayush Mhatre aur Shaik Rasheed achha start de rahe hain, lekin middle order thoda flop chal raha hai. Chepauk ki spin-friendly pitch par Jadeja, Ashwin, aur Noor Ahmad kaafi dangerous ho sakte hain.
Punjab Kings (PBKS)
Shreyas Iyer ki leadership mein PBKS ne LWWLW ka form dikhaya hai. Prabhsimran aur Priyansh Arya opening mein tezi se run bana rahe hain, lekin middle order thoda weak hai. Maxwell aur Inglis abhi tak full fire mein nahi aaye. Arshdeep aur Chahal bowling mein consistent rahe hain, lekin spinners ne kam wickets liye hain, jo Chepauk mein disadvantage ban sakta hai.
