Here’s what MS Dhoni said after the toss!

I don’t know I’m coming for the next game (laughs). One of the things is the pride factor. Majority of the games you play at home. Home advantage is very important which we haven’t been able to capitalise on. Same team. We’ve been a side where we don’t make a lot of changes. But this season we’ve made a lot of changes. Reason is simple. If most of your players are doing well, then you chop and change 1-2 players. But this season it hasn’t worked for us. It’s also the first season after a fresh auction. So you have something in mind but you have to see where a batter is suited better.

30/04/2025 1:35 pm

Here’s what Shreyas Iyer said after the toss

We’re going to bowl first. We’ll focus on our process. Our preparations have been intact. Boys are in high spirits and looking forward for a great game. Unfortunate that he’s got a fractured finger (Maxwell). Haven’t decided on a replacement so far.

30/04/2025 1:32 pm

TOSS!

Punjab Kings have won the toss, and opted to field first.

30/04/2025 1:20 pm

Pitch Report!

The pitch has short boundaries 68m and 65m square, 80m straight. It’s a dry, cracked surface with no grass, and has already hosted a match where KKR spinners dominated. Expect plenty of spin as the ball gets older, so batters will need to score early while the ball is still hard. The curator predicts less dew this time due to a steady breeze.

30/04/2025 1:06 pm

Head-to-Head!

CSK lead the head-to-head 16-15, whereas Punjab Kings have had the upper hand in recent clashes, winning six of the last seven meetings including consecutive wins at Chepauk in 2023 and 2024.
