RCB vs CSK IPL 2025 preview
The much-anticipated IPL 2025 clash between Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) is set to take place today, May 3, at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. RCB, under the leadership of Rajat Patidar, are enjoying a strong season with seven wins from ten matches, positioning them third on the points table. A victory today could solidify their playoff berth and potentially elevate them to the top spot. Virat Kohli has been instrumental in RCB's success, amassing 443 runs this season, including six half-centuries.
In stark contrast, CSK, captained by MS Dhoni, have had a challenging season, securing only two wins from ten matches and becoming the first team eliminated from playoff contention. Despite this, the team aims to play for pride and disrupt RCB's momentum. Historically, CSK has dominated this rivalry with 21 wins to RCB's 12, but RCB has clinched victory in their last two encounters, including a 50-run win earlier this season.
