Preview

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will take on Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the 25th match of the IPL 2025. This match will be played at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. 74 matches will be played across 13 cities over the next two months as the IPL fever kicks off. Qualifier 1 and the Eliminator will be played in Hyderabad on May 20 and 21, respectively. Qualifier 2, on May 23, and the final on May 25, will be in Kolkata.

Kolkata Knight Riders lost the previous match against Lucknow Super Giants by four runs. It was a thrilling chase where they scored 234 runs in pursuit of 238 posted by LSG and, in the end, fell short. They are sixth in the table with two wins and three losses in five matches. 

On the other hand, Chennai Super Kings have really struggled so far in this edition. They suffered a defeat against Punjab Kings in the previous match and are ninth in the points table with one win and four losses in five matches. This promises to be a closely fought game between these two sides.
