IPL 2025: Chennai Super Kings Playing XI against Kolkata Knight Riders | KKR vs CSK
For the season’s next match, Chennai Super Kings will face the defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders. While Chennai is coming off a loss in their last match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Kolkata is coming off a thrilling win against Rajasthan Royals. You might want to know what CSK’s playing XI could be for the upcoming match, so we will discuss it in this article.
CSK have performed very poorly, disappointing their fans this season. The team has won only two out of the 11 matches played so far. Moreover, in the last ten matches, the team managed to secure only a single victory against Lucknow Super Giants while losing the remaining nine matches. They will be playing for respect in the next three matches, as their performance won’t change their fate moving forward. CSK is currently at the bottom of the points table with 4 points.
