CSK will look to bounce back at home when they face Sunrisers Hyderabad in a crucial IPL 2025 clash. Both teams have struggled this season, with just four points from eight games, and must win all remaining matches to stay in the hunt for playoffs. CSK, traditionally strong at Chepauk, have faltered, failing to adapt to the pitch conditions. Meanwhile, SRH's aggressive batting strategy has been inconsistent, and they too have struggled to find form. With both teams under pressure, this match could be a make-or-break encounter for their qualification hopes.

Chennai Super Kings will likely make changes, with captain MS Dhoni leading the side. The return of Dewald Brevis adds depth to their power-hitting, while Ayush Mhatre's promising debut could see him retain his spot. With Ruturaj Gaikwad still sidelined due to injury, the team will continue to rely on their experienced players like Dhoni, Ravindra Jadeja, and Shivam Dube. The spin department, traditionally CSK’s strength, may feature the likes of Ashwin and Noor Ahmad.
