PBKS vs CSK IPL 2025 Key Battles

Shreyas Iyer is the highest run-getter for PBKS this season. The captain needs to take a lot of responsibility in this match against CSK bowlers too. Iyer needs to be careful about Noor Ahmad, who has already scalped 10 wickets and holds the purple cap. MS Dhoni has been batting too little, too slow, and getting small runs. Battling Yuzvendra Chahal will be a tough job for him, having been troubled by quality spinners in the past. It's a test for Chahal too, who has only one wicket in the three matches he played. Arshdeep Singh, the Indian pacer has six wickets in three matches, his job must be to carefully scalp Ravindra Jadeja in the last overs, otherwise, CSK can boost runs.
