Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will take on the defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the 25th match of IPL 2025 on April 11 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai.

KKR, on the other hand, has had a season of mixed results so far and will take on CSK after losing a last-over thriller against LSG at Eden Gardens, a match which saw more than 450 runs being scored in the game, with both teams crossing the 200-run mark.
