CSK vs SRH Highlights, IPL 2025: Sunrisers Hyderabad beat Chennai Super Kings by 5 wickets

CSK vs SRH Live Score, IPL 2025: The Indian Premier League 2025 brings a high-stakes showdown as Chennai Super Kings (CSK) take on Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Friday.

With both teams locked at the bottom of the table with just four points each from eight games, this is a must-win fixture for their flickering playoff hopes.

For CSK, the famed Chepauk fortress hasn’t quite felt like home this season.

Despite a wealth of experience and a solid core, the five-time champions have stumbled with form and struggled to decode the pitch, leading to uncharacteristic home losses.

Their batting has lacked fluency, and their bowling hasn’t delivered in crunch moments — something skipper M.S. Dhoni will be desperate to fix.

SRH, meanwhile, have endured an equally frustrating campaign.

Their aggressive approach in the powerplay has often misfired, resulting in early wickets and unstable starts. Despite having potential match-winners like Heinrich Klaasen and Abhinav Manohar, the lack of consistency and poor middle-order stability have hampered their progress.

With only six matches remaining, both sides are now in must-win territory. One more loss could all but end their playoff dreams.

Head coach Daniel Vettori will be urging SRH to find their rhythm, while CSK will look to channel their home advantage into a much-needed turnaround.

As the pressure builds, fans can expect a fierce contest under the lights at Chepauk — one where every run and wicket could decide the fate of the season for two desperate teams.

SRH vs CSK Squads:

Sunrisers Hyderabad: Pat Cummins (c), Ishan Kishan (wk), Atharva Taide, Abhinav Manohar, Aniket Verma, Sachin Baby, Smaran Ravichandran, Heinrich Klaasen (wk), Travis Head, Harshal Patel, Kamindu Mendis, Wiaan Mulder, Abhishek Sharma, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Mohammed Shami, Rahul Chahar, Simarjeet Singh, Zeeshan Ansari, Jaydev Unadkat, Eshan Malinga.

Chennai Super Kings: MS Dhoni (c&wk), Dewald Brevis, Devon Conway, Rahul Tripathi, Shaik Rasheed, Vansh Bedi, Andre Siddharth, Ayush Mhatre, Rachin Ravindra, Ravichandran Ashwin, Vijay Shankar, Sam Curran, Anshul Kamboj, Deepak Hooda, Jamie Overton, Kamlesh Nagarkoti, Ramakrishna Ghosh, Ravindra Jadeja, Shivam Dube, Khaleel Ahmed, Noor Ahmad, Mukesh Choudhary, Nathan Ellis, Shreyas Gopal, Matheesha Pathirana.

Today IPL Match Live: Playoff Math — Why This Game Is Everything

With just six games left in the league stage, both CSK and SRH find themselves on the edge. A loss here won’t just be a blow — it could seal their fate. To reach the playoffs, they’ll likely need to win all remaining matches. That means every ball, every over, every decision counts. Fans love the thrill of the IPL, and few fixtures carry stakes this high. It’s not just about a win — it’s about survival.

Today IPL Match Live: Spotlight on Klaasen vs Jadeja
One of the battles to watch in this must-win encounter is Heinrich Klaasen vs Ravindra Jadeja.

Klaasen, one of SRH’s top scorers, has shown he can tear apart spinners — but Jadeja on a turning Chepauk pitch is no pushover. This mini-duel could shape the game’s momentum.

If Klaasen finds his groove early, SRH could set the tone. But if Jadeja dismisses him cheaply, CSK might finally get their Chepauk mojo back.

CSK vs SRH Live Score, IPL 2025: India and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) legend MS Dhoni will be playing the 400th T20 of his career during the Indian Premier League (IPL) clash against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at Chepauk Stadium on Friday.

Dhoni's struggling CSK, sitting at the bottom with just two wins in eight matches, will be taking on SRH, placed at an equally poor position at number ninth, with six losses in their eight matches at Chepauk Stadium on Friday. The loser will have to settle for the wooden spoon and an increased risk of elimination.

Dhoni will become the 24th player and the only fourth Indian after Virat Kohli (407), Dinesh Karthik (412) and Rohit Sharma to complete a quadruple century of matches in T20 cricket.

In 399 matches so far, for India, Chennai Super Kings, Rising Pune Supergiant and his domestic side of Jharkhand, Dhoni has made 7,566 runs at an average of 38.02, with 28 fifties and the best score of 84*. He has also completed 318 dismissals across these matches.

Dhoni has also won a T20 World Cup for India in 2007, five IPL titles with CSK and two Champions League T20 titles as well with the Men in Yellow.

The most number of matches in T20s are played by West Indies icon Kieron Pollard (695), followed by West Indies veteran Dwayne Bravo (582) and Pakistan batter Shoaib Malik (557).

Dhoni is also the sixth-highest run-getter in the IPL history, with 5,377 runs in 272 matches and 237 innings at an average of 38.96, with 24 fifties. His best score is 84*.

In eight matches this season, Dhoni has functioned as a finisher, scoring 134 runs in eight innings at an average of 33.50, a strike rate of 152.27, and the best score of 30*.
