In the match 43 of IPL 2025, Chennai Super Kings are up against Sunrisers Hyderabad, and the opposition team captain, Pat Cummins has won an important toss at the Chepauk. He has decided to bowl first, and would be hoping to end their losing rut and win in front of the passionate CSK fans.
Chennai Super Kings have made three big changes in their line-up. They have dropped Rachin Ravindra and have handed CSK debut to Dewald Brevis. Also, in place of Vijay Shankar, Deepak Hooda is back in the side. Sam Curran has also been given another chance in place of Jamie Overton.
SRH too have made some big changes with Mohammed Shami back in the mix after missing the last match. Kamindu Mendis also comes in while Eshan Malinga misses out.

Both the teams have won just two matches out of their eight games so far, and thus they need to win almost all games from hereon, and both teams would be itching to start today at the Chepauk. Thus, it would be interesting to see how CSK batters go about their business in the first half with inclusion of some young blood.
