IPL 2025, CSK vs RCB: From Pitch Report To Squads And Head To Head, Here's All You Need To Know

The Chennai Super Kings will renew their rivalry with the Royal Challengers Bengaluru in an IPL 2025 match at the Chepauk Stadium on Friday, March 28. Two cricketing icons, Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni, will once again share the stage on one of the biggest stages in world cricket.

Both CSK and RCB opened their IPL 2025 campaign with a statement win, and the stakes will be pretty high in this much-anticipated southern derby. Both Virat and Dhoni are no longer in charge of their respective teams, and the onus will be on Rajat Patidar and Ruturaj Gaikwad to lead their team to ultimate glory this time.

RCB are currently second in the IPL points table with two points and a healthy run rate of 2.137. CSK are in the 4th place with an NRR of 0.493.
