IPL 2025: Struggling CSK Look For Batting Resurgence Against Punjab Kings
Key Points
After being dealt with a loss in their first home game of the season, the Shreyas Iyer-led side will be hoping to return to winning ways against the struggling five-time champions.
New Chandigarh, Apr 7: Punjab Kings (PBKS) will host a struggling Chennai Super Kings (CSK) side in the IPL 2025 fixture at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium on Tuesday.
After being dealt with a loss in their first home game of the season, the Shreyas Iyer-led side will be hoping to return to winning ways against the struggling five-time champions.
The Chennai-based franchise is languishing in ninth place in the points table after having failed to complete their run chases in their previous three games having lost against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Rajasthan Royals and the Delhi Capitals.
The question that hangs over the side is despite having a strong top order consisting of Rachin Ravindra, Devon Conway, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Shivam Dube, the side lacks a serious depth making fans sure of their capability of chasing big totals.
Punjab on the other hand, after winning their opening two games, were brought down to earth with a massive 50-run defeat against the Royals in their previous outing. A collapse in the middle order saw the Kings stumble and were handed their first defeat in the Ponting-Iyer era.
