CSK VS PBKS

Match Overview

The Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will be locking horns with Punjab Kings (PBKS) at the iconic MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Wednesday, April 30.. The two sides faced each other in the 22nd Match of the season, which Punjab won by 18 runs.

The home team has won just one out of their last five matches at home. Furthermore, in the entire season, they have managed to come out victorious on two occasions and are currently languishing at the bottom of the table. With five more games remaining this season, finishing in the top four looks unlikely, however, they will look to play their best brand of cricket in the coming matches and finish on a high.

Meanwhile, PBKS have won five out of their nine matches so far, and are sitting in the fifth position in the tally with 11 points. Their last game against Kolkata Knight Riders was hampered by heavy showers, eventually leading to a no-result. The Shreyas Iyer-led team will have to give an extra push if they wish to find themselves in the top four. With the competition increasing as the tournament reaches its final month, PBKS have to find a solution to win matches consistently. 

MA Chidambaram Stadium Pitch Report

The Chepauk pitch has traditionally helped spinners, with conditions becoming more favourable for them as the match progresses due to the surface slowing down. Dew may influence the pitch’s behaviour, particularly during the latter stages of the game. So far, five games have been played at this venue this season, with teams bowling first winning on three occasions. 

  • Total Match Played: 144
  • Batting First Won: 74
  • Batting Second Won: 68
  • Tie: 02
  • Average 1st innings Score: 159

Weather Report

The weather forecast is expected to be partly cloudy and humid. There are no chances of rain during the game. The temperature is likely to be around 33°C  with 73% humidity.

Player battles to watch out for in CSK vs PBKS, Match 49 in IPL 2025:

1. Rachin Ravindra vs Arshdeep Singh

Rachin Ravindra and Arshdeep Singh
Rachin Ravindra and Arshdeep Singh

The left-hander Rachin Ravindra is set to face left-arm seamer Arshdeep Singh, one of the best in T20 cricket, in a do-or-die match for CSK. Rachin will look to go on the attack during the powerplay, taking on the bowlers early, while Arshdeep aims to swing the ball both ways. The two youngsters have faced each other only once in T20 cricket, where Rachin scored 9 runs off 8 balls against Arshdeep without being dismissed.

2. Shreyas Iyer vs Noor Ahmed

Shreyas Iyer and Noor Ahmad
Shreyas Iyer and Noor Ahmad

Punjab captain Shreyas Iyer is set to face Afghanistan’s premier spinner Noor Ahmad on the turning tracks of Chepauk—conditions that could test Iyer’s skills against spin. The two have never faced each other in T20s before, but this matchup could play a crucial role in determining the outcome of the game.

Prediction

Punjab Kings are riding high on exceptional form and a string of recent victories. Their batting has been explosive this season. Whereas Chennai Super Kings have endured a disappointing season marred by inconsistency and underperformance.

Hence, PBKS are favourites to win this clash.

Suyash Sharma: The Emerging Leg-Spinner Defying Odds

Early Career: From Setback to Resilience


Born in Delhi , Suyash Sharma’s journey began with relentless determination despite a major early hurdle—being snubbed at India’s U-19 trials in 2022 2. This disappointment fueled his hunger to prove himself, sharpening his craft as a leg-spinner. His ability to bowl sharp turn and trap batsmen leg-before or in front of the stumps caught attention in local circuits, paving his path to professional cricket.

Domestic Cricket: Breaking Through the Ranks


After a stellar IPL debut, Suyash earned his domestic bow for Delhi in 2023 , representing his state in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy against Madhya Pradesh 8. Though still building his reputation in first-class cricket, his early displays highlighted promise. His knack for breaking partnerships and maintaining composure under pressure marked him as a talent to watch beyond franchise leagues.

International Ambitions: Awaiting the National Call-Up


As of 2025, Suyash remains outside India’s senior squad, but his consistent IPL performances keep him in contention for future white-ball roles. With India seeking spin options for T20Is, his leg-spin variations and death-over control could make him a dark horse for selection, provided he sustains form and adapts to international pressures.

IPL Journey: From Sensational Debut to New Challenges


Suyash burst onto the scene in 2023 with Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) , claiming three wickets on debut against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), including prized scalps of Anuj Rawat, Dinesh Karthik, and Karn Sharma 134567. His figures of 3/30 helped KKR secure an 81-run win , earning praise from coach Chandrakant Pandit 45. That season, he took 10 wickets , showcasing maturity beyond his years by outfoxing top-order batters 9.

However, the 2024 season saw a dip , with limited game time and minimal impact. Ahead of IPL 2025 , RCB acquired him for INR 2.6 crore , betting on his potential to thrive at their small Chinnaswamy Stadium [[original text]]. While the venue poses a challenge for spinners, his ability to mix googlies, flippers, and quick leg-breaks could turn matches if harnessed effectively.

Legacy: Building a Foundation for Greatness


At just 21 years old (as of 2025) , Suyash’s career embodies grit and reinvention. Overcoming rejection early on, he has shown resilience to bounce back and evolve his game. If he refines consistency—especially against aggressive hitters—and improves fitness, he could emerge as a cornerstone of India’s spin attack in the 2030s. His story serves as inspiration: a reminder that perseverance and skill can transform setbacks into stepping stones.

Yash Dayal: From Promising Talent to Resilient Competitor

Early Career: A Glimpse of Potential

Born with raw pace and a left-arm angle, Yash Dayal’s talent was first recognized during his formative years in Uttar Pradesh’s cricketing circles. His consistency in domestic tournaments earned him a spot in the Gujarat Titans’ squad ahead of IPL 2022 , marking his entry into professional cricket . Picked for a hefty â‚č3.2 crore at the mega-auction, expectations were sky-high for the untested pacer .

Domestic Cricket: Building the Foundation

Representing Uttar Pradesh in domestic circuits, Dayal showcased glimpses of his potential with disciplined line and length, though major accolades eluded him. His performances in the Ranji Trophy and Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy highlighted his ability to generate movement and pressure, laying the groundwork for his IPL opportunity . Despite inconsistent state-level success, his raw pace and left-arm advantage kept him on selectors’ radar.

International Ambitions: Chasing the National Dream
As of 2025, Dayal has yet to make his international debut, but his IPL performances have kept him in contention for Team India selection. With India’s constant search for left-arm pacers who can handle death overs, Dayal’s skill set—combining swing, yorkers, and composure—positions him as a hopeful contender for future white-ball squads. However, consistency across formats and improved fitness remain key areas to prove himself at the highest level.

IPL Journey: Highs, Lows, and Redemption

Dayal’s IPL debut on April 13, 2022 , against Rajasthan Royals was promising, claiming 11 wickets in nine matches during his maiden season . However, his 2023 campaign was marred by a harrowing encounter against Rinku Singh , who smashed him for five consecutive sixes in a last-over thriller, costing Gujarat the match . This setback led to his release, but Royal Challengers Bengaluru retained faith, acquiring him ahead of the 2024 season. There, he bounced back strongly, scalping 15 wickets and delivering memorable moments like dismissing MS Dhoni —a scalp that indirectly halted CSK’s playoff hopes .

team

Legacy: A Work in Progress

At just 23 years old , Dayal’s career embodies resilience. While inconsistency and fitness remain challenges, his ability to adapt—like refining yorkers and slower deliveries—signals growth . Though yet to cement himself as a frontline bowler, his left-arm angle and composure under pressure offer hope. With time on his side, Dayal’s journey—from a high-priced gamble to a determined competitor—reflects the fine balance between potential and perseverance in modern cricket.

Jitesh Sharma: The Fearless Finisher Who Defied Odds

Early Career


A mischievous boy with a penchant for outdoor sports, Jitesh Sharma discovered his passion for cricket during his school days in Nagpur. His aversion to academics became the catalyst for his cricketing journey, and it turned out to be the perfect decision. Jitesh’s breakthrough came during the 2012-13 Cooch Behar Trophy , where he amassed 537 runs in 12 innings , including two centuries and a fifty. This stellar performance earned him a spot in the Vidarbha senior team for the 2013-14 season , marking the beginning of his professional career.

Domestic Dominance


Jitesh’s domestic career has been a tale of perseverance and reinvention. Initially batting in the top order, he gradually carved a niche as a lower-order finisher , using his explosive batting and sharp wicketkeeping skills to stand out. His defining moment came in the 2021-22 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy , where he smashed 19 sixes , the most in the tournament, and established himself as one of India’s most destructive finishers.

In the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2015-16 , Jitesh had already showcased his potential by finishing as the third-highest run-getter , scoring 343 runs at a strike rate of 143.51 , including a century and two fifties. Despite an ordinary Ranji Trophy debut in 2015-16, where he scored 180 runs in seven matches, Jitesh remained undeterred, focusing on limited-overs formats to refine his aggressive approach.

IPL Career: From Underdog to Star Finisher

  • Mumbai Indians (2016-2017): Jitesh was first bought by Mumbai Indians in the 2016 IPL auction , but despite being retained in 2017, he failed to make it to the playing XI.
  • Punjab Kings (2022-2024): A resurgence in the 2022 IPL auction saw Punjab Kings take a chance on Jitesh, and he repaid their faith with a breakout season. In IPL 2022 , he scored 234 runs at a strike rate of 163.64 , showcasing his ability to clear the ropes and play innovative ramps and scoops. He followed this up with an even better 2023 season , racking up 309 runs at a strike rate of 156.06 , cementing his reputation as a reliable finisher.
  • Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) (2025): Jitesh’s consistent performances earned him a massive bid from RCB ahead of the 2025 season , where he continues to be a key player in the middle and lower order.

International Stint: A Glimpse of Glory


Jitesh’s explosive performances in the 2021-22 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy and IPL 2022 earned him a maiden India call-up in 2023 , replacing an injured Sanju Samson during the Sri Lanka series. While his international appearances have been limited due to stiff competition from the likes of Rishabh Pant and Sanju Samson , Jitesh remains a strong contender for future opportunities.

Style & Strengths


Jitesh is a dynamic wicketkeeper-batsman known for his fearless strokeplay and ability to accelerate in the death overs. His wide array of ramps, scoops, and towering sixes makes him a nightmare for bowlers in the final overs. Behind the stumps, Jitesh’s sharp reflexes and safe hands add immense value to any team.

Legacy in the Making


From being labeled as just a lower-order hitter to becoming one of India’s most explosive finishers, Jitesh Sharma’s journey is a testament to hard work and adaptability. Despite challenges and setbacks, he has consistently reinvented himself, proving that talent combined with resilience can overcome any obstacle. As he continues to evolve, Jitesh Sharma is poised to leave an indelible mark on Indian cricket.

Rajat Patidar: The Gritty Performer Defying Odds

Early Career


Hailing from Indore, Rajat Patidar embodies the spirit of perseverance and hard work. Initially a bowler in his formative years, he transitioned to batting at the U-15 level and quickly realized his potential as a top-order batsman. His journey was far from meteoric; it took years of dedication and incremental progress before he made his domestic debut for Madhya Pradesh during the 2015-16 season . Though his first couple of seasons were modest, Rajat’s breakthrough came in the 2018-19 domestic season , where he emerged as the top-scorer for his team, earning recognition and setting the stage for bigger opportunities.

Domestic Dominance


Rajat’s rise in domestic cricket has been marked by consistency, resilience, and leadership. After leading Madhya Pradesh with distinction, he guided his unfancied team to the finals of the 2025 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy , showcasing his ability to inspire and deliver under pressure. Known for his fearless strokeplay and impeccable technique against spin, Rajat’s ability to adapt to different formats has made him one of the most dependable batters in India’s domestic circuit. His performances not only earned him a Duleep Trophy call-up but also cemented his reputation as a match-winner who thrives in crunch situations.

IPL Career: From Underdog to Captain

  • Royal Challengers Bangalore (2021): Rajat’s maiden IPL stint was challenging, with just 71 runs in 4 games , leaving him off the radar for retention. However, destiny had other plans. A late injury replacement call-up ahead of the 2022 season reignited his career.
  • Breakthrough in 2022: Rajat grabbed his second chance with both hands, scoring 333 runs at an impressive strike rate. But it was his unforgettable 112 in the Eliminator * against Lucknow Super Giants that etched his name in IPL folklore. The knock, laced with fearless strokeplay and composure under pressure, announced his arrival as a big-stage player.
  • RCB Captain (2025): Leading an IPL franchise is no small feat, but Rajat’s leadership qualities and on-field heroics earned him the coveted role of RCB captain for the 2025 season , making him one of the youngest leaders in the league’s history.
rajat

International Stint: A Work in Progress


Despite his domestic exploits, Rajat’s international career has seen limited opportunities so far. He earned his maiden India call-up in 2023 , featuring in one ODI and three Tests . While his white-ball debut showcased glimpses of his potential, his Test outings against England exposed areas for improvement, particularly against spin. Falling twice to England’s spinners in each Test highlighted the challenges of adapting to international cricket. However, Rajat’s grit and determination ensure that he remains a strong contender for future national selection.

Style & Strengths


Rajat Patidar is a technically sound right-hander with a knack for dismantling spin bowling. His fearless approach and ability to accelerate when needed make him a valuable asset in all formats. His calm demeanor under pressure and knack for delivering in high-stakes matches set him apart from his peers.

Legacy in the Making


In an era dominated by style over substance, Rajat Patidar stands out as a testament to the power of perseverance and performance. From overcoming early struggles to becoming a domestic stalwart and IPL captain, his journey is a masterclass in resilience. As he continues to refine his game and chase higher honors, Rajat Patidar is poised to leave an indelible mark on Indian cricket.

RR vs GT Match Overview

Rajasthan Royals will welcome Gujarat Titans in an Indian Premier League 2025 match in Jaipur on Monday.

Gujarat Titans are having a stunning season after the debacle last year. They have won six out of their first eight games and are well on course to reach the playoffs. Shubman Gill has led the team from the front. Sai Sudharsan and Jos Buttler have also scored runs consistently. Meanwhile, Prasidh Krishna is leading the charts for top wicket-takers in the season, while Mohammad Siraj is also in excellent form. Gujarat are coming into this clash on the back of a 39-run win against Kolkata Knight Riders at the Eden Gardens.

Fullscreen Rajasthan Royals, on the other hand, are having a forgettable campaign. They are languishing at No. 9 on the points table, with two wins and seven defeats after playing nine matches. Riyan Parag has led the team in five matches in the absence of Sanju Samson, and the inaugural champions have suffered four defeats under the Assam all-rounder. The side has lost matches from winning positions, especially while chasing, which is a concern.

In their last encounter, they failed to score 18 runs off the last two overs with five wickets remaining at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. While the Royals have a mathematical chance to reach the playoffs, they would want to focus on one game at a time now.

Pitch Report

Jaipur might be the most consistent ground in the IPL at the moment. Scores aren’t huge here, but no team has been rolled over in the last year and a half. Last season every score was between 199 and 173 and this season so far we’ve has 173 vs 175 and 180 vs 178, so it looks a fairly tight range comes into play here. Decent sized boundaries, a wicket with a little in it and often windy, batsman need to be a bit smarter with their shot selection than at other venues but they can still make runs once they get set.

RR vs GT Weather Conditions

This glorious arena under the desert skies is equally famed for its fairy-tale finishes as for its fierce climate. As the teams prepare for action under the floodlights, the conditions could shape strategies, influence team selection, and test player endurance.

Jaipur’s infamous late-April heatwave is peaking, and with hardly a cloud in sight, spectators and players can expect a scorcher. The mercury sits stubbornly near 38°C at start time, before easing just slightly as night deepens. Dew will stay minimal but the ultradry air could sap energy and test bowlers’ grip.
