IPL 2025: Will Afternoon Matches Be a Challenge for CSK and DC?
CSK and DC have the most afternoon matches in IPL 2025 – how will it affect their chances?
The IPL 2025 calendar has been published; match time will be one of the main strategic concerns for clubs. Starting on March 22 in Kolkata, the competition sees KKR facing RCB.
With three games apiece, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Delhi Capitals (DC) have the most afternoon matches (3:30 PM this year). Playing under a hot sun calls for cautious squad management, recovery plans, and hydration. Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will have just one such match concurrently.
Team performance may suffer from tiredness, lack of dew, and too high temperatures. Although midday games are only one component of the season's puzzle, their frequency could help determine the path to the IPL 2025 championship.
