Delhi: Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will be face to face on Friday, where Chennai’s journey in the Indian Premier League (IPL 2025) has been disappointing so far. The yellow jersey team has suffered defeat in 4 out of 5 matches so far, while one has won one match.
For this important match to be held on Friday, former Indian opener Virender Sehwag believes that Kolkata will win this match. She said in a conversation with Star Sports, “I think KKR. Chennai is not playing that kind of cricket, as KKR is playing, so I think the pan is bent towards KKR, because they have good spinners and their batsmen play the spin better. Chennai’s batting is not yet possible. If the batting is not possible. If the batting will be done, then the batting will live.”
Dhoni will become captain, Gaikwad is out of IPL
In this match, MS Dhoni will once again be seen captaining Chennai Super Kings, as regular captain Ruturaj Gaikwad has been out of the entire tournament due to a hairline fracture in the elbow.
Gaikwad said, “Yes, this season has been very challenging for us. Now a young wicketkeeper is commanding the team and hopefully things will change. I will fully support the team with the dugout.”
Gaikwad said about his injury, “It is very sad for me to be out of the rest of the IPL season. I heartily thank all the fans and supporters. You have a lot of matters to me.”
