IPL 2025: Top 3 batters to watch out for in PBKS vs CSK clash

The eighteenth edition of the Indian Premier League will get its first encounter between five-time champions Chennai Super Kings and Punjab Kings at Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in New Chandigarh. Both teams will be looking to get back to winning ways heading into their fifth matchday. Chennai Super Kings lost their last three consecutive fixtures against Rajasthan Royals, Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bangalore. Punjab Kings lost their last fixture against Rajasthan Royals. CSK and Punjab Kings have clashed against each other on the previous 30 occasions. Chennai holds the bragging rights with 16 victories under their belt compared to Punjab’s 14. Both teams will be reliant on their batters to get a positive result at this venue which is known for its big scores.

Here is the list of three batters who can help their side claim victory.

3. Rachin Ravindra

The left-handed batter from New Zealand hasn’t been in the best of forms this season. The south-paw began his tournament well with a half-century against Mumbai Indians. Chennai will be relying on Rachin to give them a solid start amidst all batting concerns for the Yellow Army. The nature of the pitch is also going to be favourable for Rachin Ravindra.

2. Nehal Wadhera

The 24-year-old left-handed batter from Punjab played a sparkling innings of 62 runs against Rajasthan Royals. His innings helped Punjab get to a respectable tally of 155 runs. Nehal will be hoping to play another crucial knock against 5-tome champions.

1. Shreyas Iyer

The new skipper and number three of Punjab Kings have been in sublime form this season. Shreyas has already scored two half-centuries and is the top scorer for Punjab Kings so far this season. Shreyas will look to make a mark against the former Champions on a ground that has been generous to batters.
