IPL 2025, CSK vs KKR Predicted Playing 11 Today Match, Full Squad: Kolkata Knight Riders will look to bounce back from their defeat to Lucknow Super Giants in their last match as they take on Chennai Super Kings, who can’t seem to buy a win, at the Chepauk on Friday. With CSK losing captain Ruturaj Gaikwad to injury, they’ll be led by Mahendra Singh Dhoni. With Gaikwad gone there’s a gaping hole in the CSK batting lineup which Rahul Tripathi, who has had a subpar IPL 2025 campaign, is expected to fill.
Kolkata, the defending champions will likely make a change on top of the order with Rahmanullah Gurbaz replacing Quinton de Kock, who hasn’t filled the void Phil Salt left. Apart from a blistering 97 vs Rajasthan, the Protea batter has looked a shadow of his former self. With CSK lining up with Noor Ahmad, expect Gurbaz to have a crack at his international teammate.
