Welcome to Sportstar’s live coverage of the IPL 2025 match between Chennai Super Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.
With Brevis making it into the CSK playing XI, the side might see the new pair of Brevis and Mhatre start the proceedings. The latter was a breath of fresh air against Mumbai Indians, especially for a side struggling at the top for impetus, and the addition of the Protea only solidifies it up front.
CSK: Anshul Kamboj, Ravichandran Ashwin, Kamlesh Nagarkoti, Ramakrishna Ghosh, Jamie Overton
SRH: Travis Head, Abhinav Manohar, Sachin Baby, Rahul Chahar, Wiaan Mulder
CSK: Shaik Rasheed, Ayush Mhatre, Sam Curran, Ravindra Jadeja, Dewald Brevis, Shivam Dube, MS Dhoni(WK/ C), Deepak Hooda, Noor Ahmad, Khaleel Ahmed, Matheesha Pathirana
SRH: Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Heinrich Klaasen(WK), Aniket Verma, Kamindu Mendis, Pat Cummins (C), Harshal Patel, Jaydev Unadkat, Zeeshan Ansari, Mohammed Shami

SRH wins the toss, opts to bowl first.
“We are coming off a couple of losses but its a new venue. We need a couple of partnerships to consolidate after early wickets.,” Pat Cummins says.
“Wanted to bowl first. There was a lot of dew last night during practice. When you’re not playing good cricket, you transfer pressure to the young players. We need to enjoy cricket. It is important to take one game at a time rather than look at six games. 
We have not been sure of the wicket since it was relaid in 2010. The older red soil wicket was good. Brevis for Rachin and Hooda for Vijay Shankar,” says MS Dhoni.
Sam Curran too finds a place in the XI.

IPL 2025 points table: Find the latest updated standings of the Indian Premier League after the Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Rajasthan Royals match on April 24.
For much of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have been in the same boat, caught in a whirlpool of inconsistencies and shortcomings, circling further and further away from a playoff spot most had earmarked for them going into the tournament.
On Friday, the two sides will meet at the M. A. Chidambaram Stadium in a game that is realistically the final chance for either team to break free of the choppy waters and make an improbable, late push for a top-four spot.
At the very least, a win would go a long way for CSK and SRH to avoid the ignominy of finishing at the bottom of the standings — a fate yet to befall the former, while having happened just once for the latter.
The wounds are fresher for SRH, which succumbed to its sixth defeat of the season on Wednesday to Mumbai Indians, giving it an unenviable task of regrouping in under 48 hours for the Chennai game.
