Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are playing their second consecutive home match as they face off against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), who are once again be on the road. CSK skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad won the toss and elected to bowl first against RCB in Chaepauk tonight.
CSK had a thrilling start to their season in a closely contested match against Mumbai Indians (MI). Noor Ahmad's four-wicket haul during the middle overs, combined with Khaleel Ahmed’s breakthroughs in the powerplay, put CSK in a commanding position. However, MI's Deepak Chahar fought back with the bat in the final overs to set a challenging total for CSK to chase.
Ruturaj Gaikwad then took charge and quickly brought CSK closer to the target, but a brief resistance from debutant Vignesh Puthur, who claimed three wickets, slowed CSK's progress. Eventually, Rachin Ravindra’s composed batting guided CSK to victory in the final over.
On the other hand, RCB cruised to a comfortable win against defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in their opening game. KKR began strong with Ajinkya Rahane and Sunil Narine, but Krunal Pandya’s tight bowling stopped their momentum. The home team could only manage a modest total, which was easily chased down by RCB, thanks to strong performances by openers Phil Salt and Virat Kohli. Captain Rajat Patidar’s quick cameo and support from Liam Livingstone ensured RCB finished the chase in style. Check IPL 2025 CSK vs RCB LIVE SCORE UPDATES here
