Chennai Super Kings vs Punjab Kings LIVE Updates, IPL 2025: All-but-out Chennai Super host Punjab Kings in the 49th match of Indian Premeir League 2025 on Wednesday. After losing 7 of the 9 matches played so far, the MS Dhoni-led side in on the verge of elimination from the tournament.
Yuzvendra Chahal was trolled brutally by his Punjab Kings teammates after showing off the bat that he got from MS Dhoni ahead of their match against Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2025. Chahal, who made his ODI debut under Dhoni's captaincy, approached the CSK captain ahead of the match and was gifted one of his bats. Chahal showed off the bat to Glenn Maxwell in the PBKS dressing room who was quickly commented that he has no use for the bat as he is subbed out in every game for the Impact Player to come in. "What are you going to do with it? You get subbed out in every game". PBKS youngster Priyansh Arya also joined in on the trolling and said that some kid in Haryana will surely take it away from Chahal. "Some kid in Haryana is going to take this bat for sure," joked Priyansh.
Punjab Kings opener Prabhsimran Singh is bullish about his team's chances of making the play-offs for the first time since 2014 as it is playing "different" cricket in the Shreyas Iyer-Ricky Ponting era. Both captain Iyer and head coach Ponting are in the middle of their first season with Punjab Kings but Prabhsimran has been around since 2019. He has worked with multiple captains and coaches in his long stint at Punjab Kings but feels the Iyer-Ponting bring a breath of fresh air. "It's been seven years for me with Punjab Kings. So obviously, they have backed me a lot. And you can say that this year, we are playing very different cricket. And I feel that we are dominating most of the time," he said in the Star Sports Press Room.
As the league phase of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 heads towards a tense climax, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will be desperate to breathe life into a faltering campaign when they take on Punjab Kings (PBKS) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Wednesday. For CSK, this is more than just a contest—it's a do-or-die battle to keep their slim playoff hopes flickering. PBKS, meanwhile, sit fifth on the points table and will look to consolidate their position with a win against an out-of-sorts opponent. CSK, have found themselves at the bottom of the table this season, managing just two wins from nine games. It has been a campaign riddled with selection dilemmas, misfiring stars, and a lack of impact in key moments. Adding to their woes is their unexpected struggle at Chepauk—once considered a fortress, but now a venue where the Men in Yellow have failed to assert dominance.
Their play-off hopes all but over, Chennai Super Kings would look to turn around a floundering campaign when they square off against a better-placed but erratic Punjab Kings in their Indian Premier League match at Chepauk on Wednesday. It has been a disappointing season for five-time champions CSK, languishing at the bottom of the table with just two wins out of nine games. PBKS, on the other hand, are placed fifth in the standings with five wins from nine matches and would look to rise up with a victory against a demoralised CSK side, which failed to get its combinations right so far in the season.
Punjab Kings (PBKS) co-owner Preity Zinta interacted with fans on Monday through a Q&A session on her official account on X (formerly Twitter). During the session, the Bollywood actress was asked about the chat she had with batting great Virat Kohli after the match between PBKS and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in Mullanpur on April 20. Kohli smashed an unbeaten 73 and was named Player of the Match as RCB avenged their loss to PBKS at home a few days back.
Former Indian cricket team batter Manoj Tiwary said that he believes Punjab Kings will not win the IPL 2025 title and even levelled a major allegation against head coach Ricky Ponting. During the IPL 2025 match against Kolkata Knight Riders, PBKS decided to send Glenn Maxwell at No. 4 and Marco Jansen at No. 5 after a brilliant start courtesy Priyansh Arya and Prabhsimran Singh. That meant that Nehal Wadhera and Shashank Singh were able to get any balls due to the change in batting order. Tiwary said that Ponting chose the foreign batters or Indian talents and the plan did not work out for them. He added that if he continues to show lack of confidence in Indian players, PBKS will not win the title this year.
Indian Super League Shield and Cup winners Mohun Bagan Super Giant (MBSG) beat Kerala Blasters 2-1 to enter the Super Cup semifinals in Bhubaneswar on Saturday. MBSG, fielding an all-Indian squad, except for Portuguese defender Nuno Reis, scored once in each half through Sahal Abdul Samad (22nd minute) and Suhail Ahmad Bhat (51st). Sreekuttan MS (90 4) pulled one back for the Blasters, but it was too little, too late for the Kerala side. Later in the day, FC Goa produced a sensational late comeback to defeat Punjab FC 2-1 and book a semifinal date with MBSG on Wednesday.
