CSK vs MI IPL 2025: M.A Chidambaram Stadium, Chepauk Pitch Report

The Chepauk surface has always been known as 'spinner's territory' due to its black soil and dry nature, which historically favored spin bowlers. However, last year was a surprise, as the pitch didn’t play as spin-friendly as expected. This season, reports suggest the surface will return to its traditional roots. Given that dew plays a significant role in night matches in Chennai, the team winning the toss will likely prefer to chase. If the pitch assists spinners and helps pacers with the new ball, the winning total is expected to be around 185.
