Match 25 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 will see a high-stakes battle between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the iconic MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chepauk. With both teams struggling for momentum, the clash is shaping up to be a must-win encounter.
Kolkata Knight Riders currently find themselves in sixth place on the points table, having secured just two wins from their five games. Their campaign has been inconsistent, and another loss could further dent their playoff hopes.
Chennai Super Kings, on the other hand, are in an even more precarious position. The five-time champions have managed just one victory in their five outings and are languishing near the bottom of the table, sitting second-last. The team is under pressure to turn things around quickly to stay in the race for a playoff berth.

MA Chidambaram Stadium Pitch Report:
The MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chepauk is renowned for its spin-friendly nature and rich cricketing legacy. In the early stages, the pitch offers good pace and bounce, favoring stroke-play. However, as the game progresses, the surface tends to slow down, making run-chases increasingly challenging. While fast bowlers enjoy support at the start, spinners gradually dominate by exploiting the wearing conditions
