It’s match no. 8 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, where Chennai Super Kings (CSK) would be taking on Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Friday, March 28. Both teams will be up to carry their winning momentum that they gained in their respective opening matches.
Playing at their home, CSK would like to go hard at the opponents after winning its season-opening game against MI. The team would like to continue with the longstanding domination against RCB at the Chepauk. With the deck favouring spinners, CSK would like to tangle RCB in its spin web.
Meanwhile, RCB, who is also high in confidence after thrashing KKR at the Eden Gardens, would like to replicate the similar performance against the yellow army. Virat Kohli, who showed promising signs of getting back into form, would like to carry it against CSK. Over the years, RCB’s biggest concern has been its bowling that used to leak runs at crucial stages. However, things look quite stable, as the bowling lineup consisting of Josh Hazelwood, Krunal Pandya, and Yash Dayal performed exceptionally well against KKR.
