CSK vs SRH Dream11 Prediction: Pitch Report and Weather Condition
Pitch Report: The pitch at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, commonly known as Chepauk, is traditionally known for its spin-friendly conditions. The surface tends to be dry and slow, offering significant assistance to spinners as the match progresses. Batting can be challenging, especially in the second innings, as the pitch often grips and turns, making stroke play difficult.
In the previous match at this venue, Chennai Super Kings faced Kolkata Knight Riders. CSK managed to score only 103/9, and KKR chased down the target comfortably, highlighting the challenges batters face on this pitch.
Weather Report: Here’s full weather report card for the match between CSK and SRH:
- Temperature at Match Time (7:30 PM IST): Approximately 33°C
- Conditions: Clear skies with moderate humidity
- Rain Probability: Low – Dry conditions expected throughout the match
The weather is expected to be hot and dry, with no significant chance of rain, ensuring uninterrupted play.
Given the pitch conditions and weather forecast, teams winning the toss might prefer to bat first to take advantage of the favorable batting conditions early in the match.

CSK vs SRH Dream11 Fantasy Team
WICKET-KEEPER: H Klaasen, I Kishan
BATSMEN: T Head, S Dube, R Ravindra
ALL–ROUNDERS: A Sharma, R Jadeja
BOWLERS: P Cummins, H Patel, N Ahmed, M Pathirana
Captain/Vice-Captain options: Heinrich Klaasen, Travis Head, Ravindra Jadeja, Rachin Ravindra, Abhishek Sharma, Pat Cummins, Noor Ahmed
Travis Head: The Australian superstar has been struggling to get going in the IPL 2025. Even in the last match, he couldn’t even open the scoring. But a player of his skill-set can’t be ignored. He is a pure match winner and is worth the shot in fantasy grand league teams.
Ravindra Jadeja: CSK’s all-rounder is also a kind of player who guarantees points to some extent due to his all-round skill-set. In the last match against Mumbai Indians, Jadeja scored a half century and picked up a wicket as well.
Heinrich Klaasen: Played an innings of highest quality in the last match against Mumbai Indians. He scored 71 runs off 44 balls at a time when SRH were struggling to reach even 100-run mark. The South African wicket-keeper batter is another batter who can set this game on fire.
Noor Ahmed: CSK’s leading wicket-taker this season, the Afghanistan spinner can play a big role once again considering this match is at MA Chidambaram Stadium, which is known for its slow nature.
Abhishek Sharma: SRH’s poor form in IPL 2025 is down to the inconsistency of their big game players. Abhishek Sharma is certainly one of the players who have failed to perform at the rate they are expected. But like Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma is also someone who can win any match with his batting alone.
