IPL 2025, CSK vs KKR: MS Dhoni will be leading Chennai Super Kings and that is reason enough to fill up the Chepauk stadium when the home team take on Kolkata Knight Riders. While spotlight would be on Dhoni, Chennai would certainly be missing a premier batter in Ruturaj Gaikwad, who has been ruled out of IPL 2025.
Most likely, Rahul Tripathi would be replacing Gaikwad. While speculations over who will win the match is rife, former India opener and someone who knows a thing or two more about the two sides - Virender Sehwag - made a bold prediction.
“I feel KKR. Chennai is not playing the kind of cricket KKR are playing. So I feel the scales will be tilted towards KKR because they have good spinners, and their batters will play spin better. Chennai’s batting hasn’t fired thus far. If the batting fires, something can happen, or else KKR,” he said on Star Sports.
