The Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have appointed former Indian All-rounder S Sriram as their assistant bowling coach in anticipation of the 2025 Indian Premier League. At CSK, Sriram becomes part of a coaching staff that includes bowling consultant Eric Simons, batting coach Mike Hussey, and head coach Stephen Fleming. Sriram provides a plethora of coaching knowledge from a variety of coaching levels. He essentially takes Dwayne Bravo's place at CSK, since the former joined the reigning champion Kolkata Knight Riders as a mentor. In order to concentrate on his job with Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), he gave up his position as Australia's assistant coach in 2016 and departed it in 2022. Prior to the Asia Cup and T20 World Cup, Sriram was also named Bangladesh's T20 consultant in August 2022. He returned to Bangladesh, this time as a technical consultant, prior to the ODI World Cup, and joined the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in September 2023 as assistant coach for the 2024 Indian Premier League. R Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Shreyas Gopal, and Noor Ahmad are the front-line spinners in CSK's IPL 2025 lineup, while Deepak Hooda and Rachin Ravindra are all-around spin bowlers. Last year, CSK finished fifth with seven wins and as many losses in the 14 group games, missing out on playoff qualification. Despite being tied with fourth-place RCB on 14 points, CSK just missed qualifying for the final four due to their lower net run rate. The IPL 2025 season starts on March 22, with the defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) playing RCB in Kolkata. The next evening, CSK plays their opening match at home against the Mumbai Indians (MI).

Match Preview: In the Indian Premier League 2025 Eliminator, Gujarat Titans will play Mumbai Indians. The Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur will host this game. The winner of this match will face the Qualifier 1 loser on June 1 in this knockout matchup. Gujarat Titans, who won nine of their fourteen games, came in third place in the standings. Buttler will not play for them in this game after they lost to the Chennai Super Kings in their last encounter. He will be replaced by Kusal Mendis on the squad. However, in the table, the Mumbai Indians came in fourth. Though they have a great roster and will be eager to win, the five-time champions will miss a few players from abroad. This game looks to be exciting. Gujarat Titans vs Mumbai Indians Eliminator: Match Details Match: Gujarat Titans vs Mumbai Indians, Eliminator Venue: Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium, Mullanpur Timings: 7:30 PM IST Date: May 30 Head-to-Head: Matches Played: 7 Mumbai Indians Won: 2 Gujarat Titans Won: 5 GT vs. MI Prediction: Who Will Win IPL 2025 Eliminator? We believe Gujarat Titans have the firepower to win this important game against Mumbai Indians, despite the fact that both teams have had their share of ups and downs this season. Only if Shubman Gill and company do a good job of tackling Jasprit Bumrah will they have a small edge in the match between the Titans' batting and the Paltans' bowling. Pitch Report: The Mullanpur Stadium, popularly known as the New PCA Stadium in New Chandigarh, has become known as a crucial location for the 2025 Indian Premier League. Major games like the Punjab Kings (PBKS) vs. Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) Qualifier 1 were recently played there. This pitch is known for being unpredictable. Early on, pace bowlers who have sharp movement and variable bounce need help. As the game progresses, spinners gain greater control and grip.
