Chennai Super Kings vs Kolkata Knight Riders Team Previews

Chennai Super Kings

This season is a proper downfall of Chennai Super Kings in the IPL history so far. The Chennai Super Kings started IPL 2025 with a win against the Mumbai Indians which was just some early hopes for their fans. Things quickly took a wrong turn for Chennai Super Kings and their fans as CSK lost four matches in a row after that. 
 

There are major issues in Chennai middle order and dominant finishing. Moreover, Chennai became Chennai Super Kings by a proper dominance at home ground in Chepauk. But the shackles broke this season against RCB and Delhi Capitals who defeated Chennai after 17 and 15 years in Chennai’s home ground respectively. 

In the last match Chennai Super Kings lost a match from hands against Punjab Kings. However they looked intentful for the first time in the last game and it's a matter of time, fans will see a in-form Chennai Super Kings. This could be one of the greatest comebacks if CSK makes it to the playoffs this year. 

Kolkata Knight Riders

However their bowling looked ineffective in the last match against Lucknow Super Giants giving away 238 runs. Now, As they prepare to face CSK in their next game, KKR will have to improve their mistakes from the last match.
