IPL 2025: Predicting 3 players who could score the most runs in today’s PBKS vs CSK match ft. Shreyas Iyer
Punjab Kings (PBKS) are set to host Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 on Tuesday, April 8. The fixture will be a home game for Punjab, and will be played in Mullanpur.
PBKS have made a good start to their campaign this season, winning their first two games. However, they suffered their first defeat of the season against Rajasthan Royals in their previous game, which was played at home.
On the other hand, CSK have struggled in IPL 2025 so far. They began with a win over the Mumbai Indians, but have lost all of their last three games against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Rajasthan Royals, and Delhi Capitals.
PBKS will want to register their first win at home and return to winning ways. Meanwhile, this is a crucial clash for CSK, who will be desperate for a win. That said, here are three batters who could score the most runs in today's IPL 2025 clash between PBKS and CSK.
3 players who could score the most runs in today’s PBKS vs CSK match
#3 Devon Conway
After being out for three games, Devon Conway finally made it to CSK's playing 11 in their game against Delhi Capitals. He scored just 13 runs off 14 balls, and will look to make the most of the opportunity against PBKS.
He missed the 2024 season but was exceptional for CSK in 2023. The left-hander had scored 672 runs from 16 matches at an average of 51.69 and a strike-rate of 139.70, with six half-centuries.
For Chennai to turn things around, it will be important for them to get a good start at the top in the batting. And thus Devon Conway will be expected to fire and get going with the bat upfront.
#2 Nehal Wadhera
Young Nehal Wadhera has been batting well for PBKS in IPL 2025. He has just played two games so far but has been impressive with 105 runs from two games at a strike-rate of 159.09.
In the previous game against Rajasthan Royals, Nehal Wadhera struck a 41-ball 62, hitting four boundaries and three sixes. With Marcus Stoinis and Glenn Maxwell not quite at their best in the middle order, Wadhera has been key for them.
He will be keen to continue his form against CSK as the hosts aim for their first win at home this season.
#1 Shreyas Iyer
PBKS captain Shreyas Iyer has been in top form for the team, leading from the front. The right-hander is their leading run-scorer with 159 runs from three matches at a strike-rate of 206.49.
Shreyas Iyer has also scored two half-centuries in three games. In the previous game, while he got out for ten runs, he batted with the same intent, hitting two fours in a five-ball stay.
Since the 2025 Champions Trophy, Shreyas Iyer has been batting exceptionally well and the same is reflecting in the IPL 2025 season as well. PBKS will want their skipper to keep batting the way he has as they prepare to take on CSK at home.
