The 43rd match of IPL 2025 will be played between Chennai Super Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad on Friday, 25 April at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, for which former Indian team cricketer Irfan Pathan has selected the playing XII of the host team CSK. It is worth noting that he has made two big changes in the CSK team for the match against SRH.

Dewald Brevis and Anshul Kamboj given place in the team

Irfan Pathan believes that the Chennai Super Kings team needs a player in their top order who can score runs fast. This is the reason why he has advised to include Dewald Brevis in the CSK team. Let us tell you that this player, popularly known as Baby AB, has been a part of the Mumbai Indians team in the Indian Premier League and has recently made a splash in the SA20 season. He scored 291 runs in 10 innings of 12 matches in the SA20 2025 tournament at an average of 48.50 and a strike rate of 184.17. Irfan says that Dewald Brevis should open with Rachin Ravindra for CSK.

Apart from this, he has also included a young Indian fast bowler Anshul Kamboj in the team, who can contribute to the team by making a splash with his speed. Anshul has also been a part of MI in the IPL and has taken 2 wickets in 2 matches for CSK in IPL 2025. Anshul has experience of 24 T20 matches in which he has taken 28 wickets. Anshul also has a 10-wicket haul in a match in first class cricket.

Irfan dropped these players from the team

It is worth noting that if the CSK team that Irfan Pathan has selected while talking on his YouTube channel plays against Sunrisers Hyderabad, then 20-year-old young batsman Sheikh Rashid and English all-rounder Jamie Overton will be dropped from the playing combination of the host team.

In IPL 2025, Sheikh Rashid has scored only 46 runs for CSK at a strike rate of 117.94 while playing 2 matches. At the same time, Jamie Overton has scored only 15 runs in 3 matches. He bowled 6 overs in 3 matches for the team, in which he could not get a single success and he conceded 83 runs at an economy of 13.83.
