CSK face tough chase as history weighs against 175+ targets at Chepauk

CSK have not successfully chased a 175+ target since IPL 2021. Only twice 180+ targets have been chased down at Chepauk in day games: 206 by CSK vs RCB in 2012 and 201 by PBKS vs CSK in 2023.

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will be up against more than just their opponents when they step out to chase a stiff target in their ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 clash. Historical data suggests that the franchise has struggled with high chases in recent years, particularly at their home ground. 
 
CSK have not successfully chased a target of 175 runs or more since the 2021 edition of the IPL. The challenge becomes steeper considering the venue—MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai—where successful high run-chases during day games have been rare.
