Pre-Match Analysis:

After 4 straight losses, Chennai Super Kings will be looking for solace as they seek redemption in their home den on Friday. As a unit, they failed to exploit the home conditions in IPL 2025, where they lost their previous 2 matches and are looking to avoid their 3rd straight defeat. Meanwhile, they dealt a huge blow with their skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad ruled out of the tournament with an elbow injury. The franchise has turned out for their 5-time champion MS Dhoni, who will be leading the side for the rest of the season.

In terms of batting, they had their best day in the competition so far, racking up 201 for 5 in the losing cause against Punjab Kings on Tuesday. The valiant efforts of Devon Conway (69) couldn’t stop them from losing, who was retired out later in the game. The dot ball percentage is gradually improving with their middle order firing pretty well. Overall with one win and 4 losses, they are placed second from the bottom with 2 points.

Inconsistency among their big buys, piling more misery on Kolkata Knight Riders, who managed just two wins from 5 matches and sit 6th in the table with 4 points. They marginally fall short by a mere 4 runs while chasing 238 in their previous game against Lucknow Super Giants. They could have avoided the loss if they had preferred Andre Russell and Rinku Singh ahead of Ramandeep Singh and Angkrish Raghuvanshi. Rinku Singh, who walked in at No.8, scored an effortless 38* from 15 balls.

They are slowly picking up the pace and one of their experienced campaigners, the likes of Quinton de Kock, Andre Russell, and Sunil Narine must score big runs. New skipper Ajinkya Rahane is among the runs for the franchise this season, aggregating 184 runs in 5 matches, followed by Angkrish Raghuvanshi (133), Quinton de Kock (118) and Venkatesh Iyer (114).

There is a lot to improve on their bowling aspect as well and are thinking of playing an additional spinner on the Chepauk deck which offers more turn. Moeen Ali is likely to replace struggling Spencer Johnson.
