CSK’s record at Other Venues of IPL 2025

CSK have not featured in IPL matches held at the Guwahati and Mullanpur grounds, and hence do not have a record on these tracks. 

Ekana Stadium, Lucknow- CSK have played only on one occasion at the iconic Ekana Stadium and the only match on this ground ended without a result in the high scoring ground. The match was washed off due to rain. 

Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai CSK have been facing their arch-rivals Mumbai Indians for 15 consecutive editions they have featured in the IPL, excluding the two-year ban. CSK, in their long pursuit, have made 25 appearances in Wankhede, thus winning on 13 occasions and losing 12 with a win ratio of 1.083. 

Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru CSK have always had the upper hand over RCB in the history of the IPL. Winning on 21 occasions, CSK holds a huge advantage over RCB. Having played 11 matches at the Chinnaswamy Stadium, CSK have won on 5 occasions, with their final defeat in last year’s decisive match, which took RCB off to the playoffs and knocked out CSK. 

Eden Gardens, Kolkata Playing on 11 occasions at the Eden Gardens, Chennai Super Kings have won 7 matches, while 4 of the losses have been against the home side KKR, with their victory in 2011 IPL over Mumbai Indians also being on this iconic ground. The Eden Gardens will also host the finals of IPL 2025. 

Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad- With the stadium coming in as an IPL venue since 2022, Gujarat Titans have been nearly invincible on their home turf, as CSK have also won only on one of the four occasions they played on this ground. 

Best 11 based on IPL venues for CSK: 

These picks are made based on the conditions of the track in different stadiums across India, as the tracks of Chepauk and Narendra Modi Stadium need more spinners and bowlers with a slow release, hence the need for Ellis and Noor increases, while in tracks like Eden Gardens and Wankhede, the pacers play a crucial role. Stadiums like Guwahati and Chinnaswamy are batting tracks that suppose the inclusion of Ravindra and sloggers like Jamie Overton down the order. 

Sometimes, Vijay Shankar and Deepak Hooda have been added to the 11 following their domestic record and experience on the scheduled tracks.
