Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are taking each other on in Match 52 of IPL 2025 at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru, today. In the match CSK won the toss and opted to bowl first.
Jacob Bethell starred early, scoring his maiden IPL half-century with a fluent 55, and stitched a 94-run opening stand with Virat Kohli. Kohli, in sublime form, also notched up a half-century before falling to Sam Curran for 62. CSK clawed back into the contest after Kohli’s dismissal, with Matheesha Pathirana striking twice to remove Devdutt Padikkal (17) and Rajat Patidar (11), while Noor Ahmed accounted for Jitesh Sharma (7), leaving RCB in a brief middle-order wobble.
