PBKS vs CSK Probable Best Performers
Probable best batter:
Phil Salt missed out in the last game after playing two blistering knocks to start his IPL 2025 campaign. He smashed a 31-ball 56 against his former side Kolkata Knight Riders. In the following game against Chennai Super Kings, Salt played an important cameo of 32 off 16 balls. It would be a nice challenge for him to face Trent Boult and Deepak Chahar on a pitch where the new ball generally swings around for the first few overs. If he wins this mini-battle against the veteran MI seamers, RCB could be set for a big score.
Probable best bowler:
Noor Ahmad’s performance so far in IPL 2025 has been a silver lining for CSK. The Afghanistan spinner has picked up 10 wickets from four games at an average of 11.80. He is the current Purple Cap holder. He will hold the key through the middle overs for the visitors.
