Mullanpur, April 8: IPL 2025 mein aaj Punjab Kings (PBKS) aur Chennai Super Kings (CSK) ka takkar hai Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium mein. Toss jeeta PBKS ke skipper Shreyas Iyer ne, aur bina kisi hesitation ke choose kiya pehle batting.
🗣️ Toss ke baad kya bole dono captains?
Shreyas Iyer (PBKS Captain): “Hum pehle batting karenge, kyunki humari batting line-up pe full confidence hai. Last match mein dew ka zyada asar nahi tha, par wo hamare control mein nahi. Same playing XI ke saath jaa rahe hain. Bowlers bhi solid hain, bas unka sahi use zaroori hai. Rajasthan ke batsmen ko bhi credit dena padega last game ke liye.”
Ruturaj Gaikwad (CSK Captain): “Hum bhi pehle bat karna chahte the, pitch kaafi dry lag rahi hai. New conditions hain toh jaldi adapt karna padega. Humari bowling achhi chal rahi hai, but kuch overs mein 15+ runs dena costly sabit hua. Same team se hi khel rahe hain. Main no. 3 pe batting kar raha hoon balance ke liye, ye auction ke time hi decide ho gaya tha. Powerplay mein hamesha peeche rahe hain, ab enjoy karna hai game.”

🧱 Pitch Report – Kya bolte hain experts?
“Pitch thodi dry hai, aur dimensions bhi change kiye gaye hain – square boundary ab 69m aur straight boundary 74m hai. Consistency important hogi yahaan. Length ka bahut bada role hoga – overpitch karoge toh easy to hit, aur short daloge toh set ho jata hai. Good length best rahega,” – analysis by Daren Ganga & Michael Clarke.
