Chennai Super Kings vs Sunrisers Hyderabad, IPL 2025: Chennai Super Kings will take on the Sunrisers Hyderabad in their ninth league match of IPL 2025 on Friday (April 25). Match No. 43 of this year’s Indian Premier League is scheduled to take place at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.
Chennai and Hyderabad haven’t taken on each other this season. In their last encounter in IPL 2024, CSK rode on a 54-ball 98 from Ruturaj Gaikwad to post a whopping 212 batting first, and then a four-wicket haul from Tushar Deshpande restricted SRH to a paltry 134.

CSK vs SRH: MA Chidambaram Stadium Pitch Report
The track at the MA Chidambaram Stadium has been tough to predict in IPL 2025. On one hand, it seems to be helping the bowlers in the first innings, while in the second innings, the batters can play their shots with the ball coming onto the bat.
The last match at this venue saw Chennai being dismissed for a paltry 103 batting first, with Sunil Narine picking three wickets.

IPL 2025 CSK vs SRH Match: Chennai Super Kings vs Sunrisers Hyderabad Probable Playing XI

Impact subs: Anshul Kamboj, Kamlesh Nagarkoti, Ramakrishna Ghosh, Sam Curran, R Ashwin

Players to watch:
MS Dhoni: A lot of eyes will be on the stand-in CSK captain to see if he can bring his team back to winning ways. Chennai’s IPL 2025 campaign has been dwindling. Dhoni played a match-winning innings against the Lucknow Super Giants, and a similar innings might be needed from him.
Abhishek Sharma: Abhishek couldn’t get going in SRH’s previous game against the Mumbai Indians, but he will still be the one to look out for in that lineup, with most of them misfiring over the last two games.
