Chennai Super Kings ke liye IPL 2025 ka safar almost khatam ho chuka hai, lekin MS Dhoni ki team ab bhi Punjab Kings ka playoff sapna todne ka potential rakhti hai. CSK ki taraf se Priyansh Arya ne pichhle match mein century jadkar team ko jeet dilayi thi, lekin Chepauk ke pitch pe kahani kuch aur ho sakti hai.
PBKS ka pichhla match KKR ke khilaaf rain ke wajah se washout ho gaya tha. Unke top-order ne shandar batting ki thi, lekin middle-order ek badi samasya ban chuka hai. Head coach Ricky Ponting is baar Nehal Wadhera aur Shashank Singh ko mauka de sakte hain. Saath hi, spin-friendly conditions dekhte hue, Ponting Glenn Maxwell par vishwas jatate rahenge. Maxwell ne iss season mein ab tak sirf 48 runs banaye hain aur unka highest score 30 ka hai.
Maxwell ke liye CSK ka challenge asaan nahi hoga. Pichhle match mein unhe Ravichandran Ashwin ne sirf ek run par out kiya tha. Dekhna hoga ki Ponting unhe batting order mein kaha fit karte hain. Bowling side mein Harpreet Brar aur Yuzvendra Chahal fir se important role nibhayenge. Pacer department mein Xavier Bartlett ko Azmatullah Omarzai ki jagah mauka mil sakta hai.
PBKS Predicted Playing XI (plus impact player):
Priyansh Arya, Prabhsimran Singh, Shreyas Iyer (c), Josh Inglis (w), Nehal Wadhera, Shashank Singh, Glenn Maxwell, Marco Jansen, Arshdeep Singh, Xavier Bartlett, Yuzvendra Chahal, Harpreet Brar
CSK ka performance iss season mein inconsistent raha hai, sirf 2 jeet 9 matches mein. Dhoni ab youngsters Shaikh Rasheed aur Ayush Mhatre ko top par continue karne ke mood mein hain. Dewald Brevis ko bhi Sam Curran ki jagah promote kiya ja sakta hai batting order mein.
Match Chennai mein hai, toh spin bowlers ka impact pakka hoga. Ab dekhna yeh hai ki kya CSK apne ghar par PBKS ke playoff plans ko spoil kar pati hai ya nahi!
