IPL 2025: CSK vs RCB Playing 11; Gaikwad and Patidar's captaincy record

Royal Challengers Bengaluru began their season with an impressive win over Kolkata Knight Riders at Eden Gardens.

Chennai Super Kings will be aiming for their second consecutive win in IPL 2025 as they take on Royal Challengers Bengaluru this Friday. The five-time champions are seeking revenge after being knocked out by Faf du Plessis' RCB in last season's group stage. CSK started their 2025 campaign on a strong note, securing a victory over Mumbai Indians in their opening match. Noor Ahmad was the standout performer with a four-wicket haul that restricted MI to just 155/9, while Rachin Ravindra's unbeaten 65 guided CSK to a four-wicket win during the chase.  Check IPL 2025 CSK vs RCB LIVE SCORE UPDATES here

 

 

Royal Challengers Bengaluru, too, began their season with an impressive win over Kolkata Knight Riders at Eden Gardens. They limited the defending champions to 174 runs in the first innings. Phil Salt and Virat Kohli then led the charge with explosive batting performances, helping RCB seal a seven-wicket victory. They will be looking to carry their winning form into the match against CSK. In the match CSK's skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad won the toss and invited RCB to bat first.
