April 8, 2025: In the latest encounter of IPL 2025, Punjab Kings (PBKS) skipper Shreyas Iyer won the toss and opted to bat first against Chennai Super Kings (CSK), led by Ruturaj Gaikwad, at the iconic Mohali Stadium. The decision comes after careful consideration of the pitch conditions, which seem to favor the batsmen in the early stages of the match.
Iyer, who has been in excellent form this season, will look to give his team a solid start. With key players like Shikhar Dhawan and Liam Livingstone in the lineup, PBKS is expected to aim for a big total. The Punjab Kings will hope to capitalize on their strong batting order and put pressure on the CSK bowlers right from the start.
For CSK, this is an important match as they look to bounce back after some close encounters in recent games. With Ruturaj Gaikwad leading from the front, they will rely on their experienced bowlers like Deepak Chahar and Ravindra Jadeja to restrict the Punjab batsmen.
The match promises to be an exciting contest, with PBKS looking to build momentum and CSK aiming to defend well and chase down any target set by the Kings.
