Chennai Super Kings, the five-time champions, are gearing up to face off against Punjab Kings in match 49 of the 18th Indian Premier League edition. This exciting encounter is set to take place on April 30th at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. With the tournament nearing its business end, both teams will be eager to secure a valuable two points in a bid to keep their playoff hopes alive.
Chennai Super Kings currently find themselves at the bottom of the standings, while Punjab Kings are positioned in 5th place. Chennai lost its last two matches against Mumbai Indians and Sunrisers Hyderabad. The tale of Punjab is no different as they have failed to win any of their last two matches.
Here is the list of three bowlers who can pick the most wickets in this important reverse fixture.
3. Arshdeep Singh

The left-arm pacer from Punjab is a severe threat to any batter in the opening overs. His ability to swing and seam the ball on either side makes him impactful against any opener. He has scalped 11 wickets in 9 innings of IPL 2025 at an economy of 8.6 runs per over. He will be the one to watch out for when Chennai’s young openers take the crease.
2. Ravindra Jadeja

The left-arm orthodox spinner from Baroda is amongst the top wicket takers at MA Chidambaram Stadium. Although he has picked up only 6 wickets in 8 innings, he has been very economical in his spells. If the track offers him assistance, Jadega may become very dangerous with his consistent line and length.
1. Noor Ahmad

The left-arm chinaman from Afghanistan has been among the top wicket takers of the tournament right from the start. He has already scalped 14 wickets in 9 innings at an economy of 9.6 runs an over. Historically, MA Chidambaram Stadium’s track is known to support spinners and he will be the one to watch out for against Punjab’s big hitters in the middle phase of the innings.
