CSK vs SRH Predicted Playing XI

CSK’s Probable Playing XI

Shaik Rasheed, Rachin Ravindra, Ayush Mhatre, Ravindra Jadeja, Shivam Dube, Vijay Shankar, Jamie Overton, MS Dhoni (c & wk), Noor Ahmad, Khaleel Ahmed, Matheesha Pathirana

CSK has been struggling this season with their batting lineups this season and does not have many power hitters in their bowling unit. They do have some explosive batters and strike bowlers, who are helping the team, but their middle order is what is troubling the team, and after Ruturaj being ruled out of the campaign team is struggling with their opening partnership.

Besides struggles in the squad, the team has also failed to protect their own fortress ground and have lost all of the recent outings of this season at their home. With the new intent of Rasheed and Ayush and their momentum in this Powerplay, their team is looking a bit stable. So, most likely, they will continue to play with the same team combination in the next match.

SRH’s Probable Playing XI

Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head, Ishan Kishan, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Heinrich Klaasen (wk), Aniket Verma, Pat Cummins (c), Harshal Patel, Jaydev Unadkat, Zeeshan Ansari, Eshan Malinga

SRH's team looks incredibly balanced, with all of their players being T20 specialists. Their playing combination is also looking most destructive this year, but their bowling attack is what’s failing them in the IPL 2025. As they have lost their last three matches in a row, they will most likely play with the same team in the upcoming match, with no change in the playing XI.

Top Captain & Vice-Captain Picks for My11Circle

Travis Head, Heinrich Klassen, and Rachin Ravindra are the best batters from their respective teams who are in top form and have recently scored runs for their teams. They all have the ability to score runs at a higher strike rate and can smash the ball all over the ground effortlessly. That's why they are all selected as the captaincy choice for the upcoming match.

Rachin Ravindra and Shivam Dube are two of CSK's most important batting pillars, capable of delivering match-winning performances if they find their rhythm. Both have the ability to change the course of a match on their own on any given day, and they typically perform better on the Chidambaram Stadium pitch, which is why they are the best vice-captains for the upcoming match.

On the other hand, Khaleel Ahmed is CSK's key bowler, and he has been in incredible form since the start of the IPL season and is also the lead wicket-taker for Chennai at the Chepauk ground. His precise bowling with perfect line and length, and ability to swing the ball in crucial moments, make him an ideal choice to be in the team as he can take wickets with the new ball at Chepauk.
