IPL 2025 CSK vs RR : Match Overview
CSK, currently at the bottom of the points table with just three wins in twelve games, are coming off a thrilling two-wicket victory against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). It’s been a challenging season for the five-time IPL champions, but they’ve used recent matches to experiment with fresh talent, which could shape their future campaigns. However, key overseas players Sam Curran, Rachin Ravindra, Jamie Overton, and Nathan Ellis are unavailable for the remainder of the tournament.

IPL 2025 CSK vs RR : Captains’ Comments Post-Toss
MS Dhoni (CSK):
“We want to express ourselves in our batting department. We need to figure out which players will do well in which slots for next year and work on our bowling. Since we’re out of the tournament, we’re focused on finding answers for the future, including combinations and auction plans. Our batting has been on a roll recently, though we struggled earlier. Constant pressure doesn’t help, and you don’t need to play every shot in the book.”
Sanju Samson (RR):
“We’ll bowl first, considering the pitch offered something in the last game against DC. There’s no hiding in this game—we need everyone to step up as match-winners. We must be smarter and braver. We’ve made a couple of changes, with Yudhvir coming in.”
