IPL 2025: CSK vs RCB Playing 11, live toss and match time, streaming

Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) will look to end a 17-year winless streak at Chennai Super Kings' (CSK) fortress when they meet in IPL 2025 on Friday. RCB has only managed to defeat CSK once at Chepauk, back in the 2008 season. Virat Kohli, the only player from the current squad who was part of that victory, will aim to repeat the feat. 

 

However, CSK’s home advantage is hard to overcome, with their spin-friendly pitch. The Chennai team boasts experienced spinners like Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, and newcomer Noor Ahmad, all of whom have been effective in recent matches, including against Mumbai Indians.   Check IPL 2025 CSK vs RCB LIVE SCORE UPDATES here

 

 

RCB’s batting unit, led by Kohli, will need to be strategic rather than aggressive to overcome CSK’s spin trio. Kohli’s improved ability to handle spin in recent years will be crucial, but he will need support from the likes of Phil Salt, Rajat Patidar, Liam Livingstone, and Jitesh Sharma. RCB may also consider adding Jacob Bethell for extra spin options and will monitor Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s fitness for the match. Meanwhile, CSK's middle-order, which struggled against Mumbai, will need to step up.
