The Chennai Super Kings are all set to lock horns against the Punjab Kings in the 49th game of the Indian Premier League 2025, slated to take place on April 30th at MA Chidambaram Cricket Stadium in Chennai. The side currently places itself at the bottom of the points table with just two wins and seven defeats from the nine matches they have played so far.
MS Dhoni and his men are already on the brink of elimination, and the loss in this game will surely knock them out of the prestigious tournament. However, the five-time IPL champions must be aiming to stage their comeback in this game to mark a turnaround. In the same vein, here is the probable playing XI of CSK against PBKS.
Openers:

The two-star batteries aim to give a flying start to the team to boost the power play of the team. Ayush Mhatre has been a sensation and can-do wonders in this game. He will be the one to watch out for.
Batters:

Dewald Brevis has been in red-hot form, having chipped in a crucial 42 off 25 balls in the last game against SRH. Wicket-keeper batter MS Dhoni has failed to live up to the expectations but is still expected to play a finisher role here.
All-rounders:

Sam Curran can be a game-changer against his old franchise. The star all-rounder can boost the middle order alongside giving early breakthroughs to his side. Ravindra Jadeja can be a match-winner in a spin-friendly deck. Dube and Hooda need to light up the show after their side’s standing at the bottom spot of the points table.
Bowlers:

Noor Ahmad is one of the best pacers on the side who can do most of the damage against PBKS on his home turf. Ahmad and Pathirana will also be looking to strengthen the bowling attack of the team.
