Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will take on each other in the 25th match of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) season on Friday, April 11th. The high octane clash will take place at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai and is scheduled to start at 7:30 PM IST.

CSK is coming on the back of four consecutive defeats and are desperate to regain momentum to get themselves back on track. Meanwhile, KKR, who has been evidently inconsistent this season, will be aiming to capitalize on CSK’s poor form and secure two crucial away points to climb into the top half of the points table.

As yet another exciting IPL evening is upon us from Chennai, here are the top three captain and vice-captain choices for CSK vs KKR Match 25 of IPL 2025.

3. Shivam Dube

Why Will Shivam Dube Be A Good Choice As The Captain Or Vice-captain?

Shivam Dube will be playing a crucial role for CSK in their upcoming fixture against KKR. The left handed batter’s ability to play impactful knocks in the middle-overs has been instrumental in CSK’s success in recent years.

Despite a shaky start for the Mumbai southpaw, Dube is expected to come good in this fixture considering his recent outings against KKR and especially their spinners. Dube has been the highest run scorer in CSK vs KKR fixtures since IPL 2023 with 126 runs at a strike-rate of 172.60.

2. Ajinkya Rahane

Why Will Ajinkya Rahane Be A Good Choice As The Captain Or Vice-captain?

Ajinkya Rahane will be a top fantasy pick ahead of the CSK vs KKR match. Nobody has earned more fantasy points than Rahane for KKR this season - 402 points, with an average of 80.4 points per game.

Moreover, looking at his recent form for KKR in IPL 2025 makes his case even more stronger. He has been KKR’s highest run scorer with 184 runs at a strike-rate 160 which also includes two fantastic half-centuries.

1. Noor Ahmad

Why Will Noor Ahmad Be A Good Choice As The Captain Or Vice-captain?

Noor Ahmad will undoubtedly start as one of the best captain and vice-captain choices for this match. The left-arm chinaman spinner has been CSK’s go to man with the ball as he is currently the highest wicket-taker in the league with 11 wickets at an impressive strike-rate of 9.81.

Additionally, Noor has enjoyed bowling at CSK’s den Chepauk where he has taken 8 wickets at a strike-rate of 8.2 in three games. He has further earned 75 fantasy points on average which is highest for any CSK player this season.
