Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will lock horns with Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the 52nd match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. The southern-derby encounter will take place at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru on 03rd May, 2025 at 07:30 PM IST. Last season, Royal Challengers Bengaluru were not doing well with just three victories in ten games and were on the verge of being out of the playoffs. But they made a dramatic comeback and even eliminated Chennai Super Kings to qualify for the playoffs. This season, RCB is a whole different team altogether. They are composed, well-organized, and each player knows their role. They have a solid batting line-up, an efficient bowling unit, and a smart and consistent captain.RCB are now targeting a top-two spot and an easier run to their maiden IPL title. Chennai Super Kings, the team that was always consistent and shrewd, are facing problems now. They experimented with too many different player combinations, many of their star players are out of shape and injured, and nothing is working. They are already out of the playoff race and now are discussing gearing up for the next season, something that RCB did in the past. Though CSK still have young stars such as Dewald Brevis and Ayush Mhatre promising, this season has been disappointing. CSK now have to rebuild and start anew. The rivalry has seen plenty of memorable matches where numerous records have been broken and created. This match also promises a similar kind of entertainment. Royal Challengers Bengaluru will try to hand a season-double to CSK, while Dhoni-led Chennai will eye for a revenge at M. Chinnaswamy. Let's have a look at the stats and milestones that have been created in the past and which can be created in this game.
