Chennai Super Kings vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Season So Far
Two of the biggest and most popular teams in the league – these two came into IPL 2025 with a mile-high stack of expectations on them. This was mostly because of how good their auction went, with these two having two of the best-looking squads coming out of the mega-auction. While CSK finished fifth last season, RCB made a historic comeback to go from last in the table to a playoff qualification.

The Super Kings took on arch-rivals and fellow five-time champions Mumbai Indians in their opening game of the season. That match, like this one, was played in Chennai and thus had spin-friendly tracks. Ruturaj Gaikwad’s men first dominated Mumbai with the ball, restricting them to a total below 160, and then, with the bat, they chased the target down with ease with four wickets remaining.
As for the Royal Challengers, they, too, had a fantastic start to the season when they faced defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders in the opening game of IPL 2025. For arguably the first time in their lifetime, RCB showed that their bowling is a strength, as it was them who restricted KKR to 174 runs, a target that Bengaluru chased down with seven wickets and almost four overs to spare.
Chennai Super Kings vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Teams And Captains
Both these teams have excellent bowling attacks, with RCB not even showing all their cards in this department, seeing that Bhuvneshwar Kumar did not play the match against KKR. And with this match being played on the turning tracks of the Chepauk, it will be one of the very few matches in IPL 2025 that will not be dominated by the batters.
The Chennai Super Kings have one of the most experienced groups of players on their side. The likes of Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, and MS Dhoni have all retired from at least one format in international cricket (all in the case of Ashwin and Dhoni). In a team like this, it is Ruturaj Gaikwad who actually captains the side. In his first season as the skipper in 2024, he failed to take his side to the playoffs. He will now look to become only the second CSK captain after MS to take his team into the top four and even win the league.
As for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru, with captain Faf du Plessis being released, captaincy could’ve gone back to Virat Kohli, but instead went to Rajat Patidar, who had a good time as the team leader in his first IPL match as the captain.
