Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Chennai Super Kings Team Previews

Royal Challengers Bengaluru

The red army is rolling strong. RCB have looked like champions in the making this season. With 7 wins from 10 games, they are on top of the table. Their confidence is sky high. Last year, they made the playoffs with 7 wins. This time, they can even finish in the top two.

RCB have a powerful batting line-up with Virat Kohli, Philip Salt, and Liam Livingstone leading the charge. Krunal Pandya and Romario Shepherd give strength in the middle. The bowlers are also doing great. Hazlewood, Bhuvneshwar, and Suyash Sharma have kept things tight.

Their last game was a strong win over Delhi Capitals. Chasing 163, RCB were 26 for 3. But Kohli and Krunal turned things around. They finished the chase like pros. RCB had also beaten CSK earlier in Chennai. That too, by 50 runs. One more win here, and they’re almost set for the playoffs. Can they keep the fire burning? We’ll find out.

Chennai Super Kings

It’s been a tough season for CSK. The five-time champs are now the first team to be knocked out of IPL 2025. With only 2 wins from 10 games, they sit at the bottom of the table. They’ve had a few bright spots. Wins against MI and LSG showed what they can do. But too many losses in a row broke their momentum.Chennai Super Kings have tried their level best this season but they are still losing matches in a row. 

Jadeja and Curran did well in the last match against Punjab Kings but they need to make it consistent. Chennai Super Kings have tried to change the batting order, include youngsters in the team, and changed the bowling attack completely. But nothing has clicked all together. Now, CSK will look to spoil RCB’s party. They’ll want to end the season with pride and smiles. Who knows, maybe a surprise is waiting?
