The much awaited contest will take place at the Mullanpur Cricket Stadium in Chandigarh and is scheduled to start at 7:30 PM IST.

They will be hoping to break their losing streak and get the much needed 2 points from Chandigarh.

As it is going to be yet another thrilling Tuesday evening, here are the top three captain and vice-captain choices for PBKS vs CSK Match 22 of IPL 2025.

3. Noor Ahmad

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

Noor Ahmad is currently the highest wicket-taker of IPL 2025. The left-arm chinaman has taken a total of 10 wickets in the tournament so far at an average of 11.80 and at a strike-rate of 9 and most of his wickets (8) has come in the middle-overs, making him a crucial factor ahead of this game.

Moreover, he has earned the highest number of fantasy points from CSK’s camp which is 477 and i.e. an average of almost 120 points per game which makes him a strong contender to be top captain and vice-captain choice for this match.

2. Ruturaj Gaikwad

Why Will Ruturaj Gaikwad Be A Good Choice As The Captain Or Vice-captain?

Ruturaj Gaikwad has performed consistently for CSK and has been the lead batter for the yellow franchise in the recent past. He will start this game as one of the top fantasy picks from the CSK camp.

The dynamic right-hander has enjoyed batting against Punjab in the past, scoring 241 runs at an average of 34.43. Moreover, Ruturaj has been CSK’s best batter this season as he is the only batter for his side to have a strike-rate of over 150 (121 runs at 155.12 strike-rate) which makes him a safe fantasy pick for this game.

1. Shreyas Iyer

Why Will Shreyas Iyer Be A Good Choice As The Captain Or Vice-captain?

Shreyas Iyer will continue to be one of the top fantasy picks ahead of any Punjab Kings’ fixture. The Punjab skipper is looking in the best of form as he has been Punjab’s best batter from day one in the season so far, scoring 159 runs at a strike-rate of 206.49 which also includes two half-centuries.

Moreover, Iyer will be playing a crucial role against CSK’s spin attack in the middle-overs as he is yet to get dismissed by a spinner in this year's IPL and has scored 54 runs at a strike-rate of 186.21. Iyer is also averaging 143 fantasy points per match which makes his case even stronger as a top fantasy pick ahead of this game.
