Chennai vs Punjab on April 30

The Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will be locking horns with Punjab Kings (PBKS) at the iconic MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Wednesday, April 30.. The two sides faced each other in the 22nd Match of the season, which Punjab won by 18 runs. The home team has won just one out of their last five matches at home. Furthermore, in the entire season, they have managed to come out victorious on two occasions and are currently languishing at the bottom of the table. With five more games remaining this season, finishing in the top four looks unlikely, however, they will look to play their best brand of cricket in the coming matches and finish on a high. Meanwhile, PBKS have won five out of their nine matches so far, and are sitting in the fifth position in the tally with 11 points. Their last game against Kolkata Knight Riders was hampered by heavy showers, eventually leading to a no-result. The Shreyas Iyer-led team will have to give an extra push if they wish to find themselves in the top four. With the competition increasing as the tournament reaches its final month, PBKS have to find a solution to win matches consistently. 

Best economical pick – PBKS opener Prabhsimran Singh could be the best batter in the upcoming game against Chennai Super Kings. With 292 runs in nine matches, Prabhsimran is currently the second-highest run-getter of his team in the season, and his performance will be crucial against CSK. The right-hand batter will be coming off a brilliant knock of 83 against KKR and will hope to carry on his momentum.

Top captains & vice captains – Shreyas Iyer has scored 288 runs in 9 matches for Punjab Kings in IPL 2025, making him a reliable performer and the team's leading run-scorer so far. However, his form has been inconsistent: after a strong start with scores of 97* and 52*, he has only crossed 20 once in his next six innings, but he remains a strong option, especially in away games where his average is significantly higher. Dewald Brevis has just joined Chennai Super Kings as a mid-season replacement and made an immediate impact, scoring a quick 42 off 25 balls with four sixes in his debut match for CSK, showing his aggressive intent and composure under pressure. While his overall IPL record is modest (272 runs in 11 matches at an average of 24.73, with a highest score of 49), his recent form in T20 leagues and his power-hitting ability suggest he could be a valuable vice captaincy pick for your fantasy team.  

Smart pick – CSK's ace spinner Noor Ahmed could be the best bowler in the game against the Punjab Kings. With 14 wickets in nine matches, the Afghan-born has been a go-to-bowler for his side and is currently third on the list of highest wicket-takers in this season. Chennai will be hoping that Noor takes them out of tricky situations at a spin-friendly pitch.

Cautious Pick – Deepak Hooda has struggled significantly in IPL 2025 so far, managing only 22 runs off 21 balls in his highest-scoring innings and recording low scores of 3, 4, and 0 in other matches, leading to widespread criticism for his lack of impact and poor strike rate. Given this string of underwhelming performances and his ongoing inconsistency, it would be wise to avoid picking him in your fantasy team.

My XI – Shreyas Iyer (Captain), Dewald Brevis  (Vice-Captain), Noor Ahmed, Prabhsimran Singh, Shaik Rasheed, Ayush Mhatre, Shivam Dube, Priyansh Arya, Arshdeep Singh, Josh Inglis, Yuzvendra Chahal
