IPL 2025: CSK vs KKR, Match 25 - Stats preview of players' records and approaching milestones

The 25th match of the IPL 2025 will feature an exciting contest between two high-profile teams: Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai. Both teams enter the match with their backs against the wall, looking for redemption after a series of narrow defeats in their previous outings.

Chennai Super Kings are coming off an 18-run loss to Punjab Kings. Despite a valiant chase, CSK's efforts fell short as they could only manage 201/5 while chasing a daunting target of 220. Rachin Ravindra and Devon Conway provided solid starts at the top, and MS Dhoni and Shivam Dube gave hope with crucial contributions in the middle order. However, Punjab's bowlers delivered key breakthroughs when needed most, putting CSK under pressure and ensuring they fell short.

On the other hand, Kolkata Knight Riders suffered a narrow 4-run loss to Lucknow Super Giants in their last match. Chasing a massive 238/3 posted by Lucknow, KKR's batters gave it their all, with Ajinkya Rahane playing a brilliant knock of 61 runs. Venkatesh Iyer (45) and Rinku Singh (38*) also chipped in, but despite their valiant efforts, KKR’s chase faltered in the final moments. Lucknow’s tight bowling, led by some crucial overs at the death, ensured that KKR’s charge was halted just shy of victory.
