For the final time this season, MS Dhoni will take the field in the IPL 2025 season as Chennai Super Kings (CSK) cross swords with the Gujarat Titans (GT) in an afternoon fixture at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday, May 25.
The Shubman Gill-led GT have already secured a spot in the playoffs, but with 18 points from 13 matches, they’ll be aiming to finish in the top two to gain the advantage of an extra chance at reaching the final. A loss could see them slip, as the other three playoff teams remain in contention for those coveted top spots. For CSK, the focus will be on ending their campaign on a high and avoiding a bottom-of-the-table finish.
Pitch Report
The pitches in Ahmedabad have consistently delivered high-scoring matches this season, with eight totals exceeding 200 runs across six games. The surface continues to favour batters, although pacers may get early movement. Being a day game, it remains to be seen how much turn spinners will extract from the pitch.
Weather Forecast
No rain is expected, but it will be a hot and humid afternoon in Ahmedabad. Temperatures are set to range between 30°C and 39°C, with humidity around 47%.
Head-to-Head
GT hold a narrow edge over CSK in their past encounters, leading 4-3 overall. In Ahmedabad, GT have won two of their three clashes against Chennai—the only defeat coming in last year’s IPL final.
Match Prediction
Based on current form, GT are the favourites. CSK’s batting line-up has struggled throughout the season, while GT possess a well-rounded bowling attack that could make the difference.
Where to watch
Live coverage will be available on the Star Sports Network, and the match can be streamed on the JioCinema app and website.
