Punjab Kings skipper Shreyas Iyer won the toss and elected to bowl against Chennai Super Kings in their IPL 2025 at the Chepauk on Wednesday. While Punjab have replaced injured Glenn Maxwell with Suryansh Shedge, Chennai are unchanged.

CSK find themselves on the brink of an ignominious record as they prepare to host the Punjab Kings in what has become a fight to salvage pride rather than chase playoff hopes. As they face PBKS, the stakes are no longer about playoff contention, but about restoring lost pride and ensuring Chepauk remains a citadel, not a memory.
