IPL 2025: CSK vs RCB Head To Head, Playing 11, Live Toss, Match Time & Streaming Details
Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) will aim to break their 17-year winless streak at Chennai Super Kings’ (CSK) home ground when the two teams face off in IPL 2025 on Friday. RCB has managed to defeat CSK at Chepauk only once, back in the 2008 season. Virat Kohli, the only player from that victorious squad still playing, will look to repeat history.
However, CSK’s home advantage is tough to overcome due to their spin-friendly pitch. The Chennai-based team has a strong spin attack, including Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, and Noor Ahmad, all of whom have been impressive in recent matches, including against Mumbai Indians.
RCB’s Strategy Against CSK’s Spin Attack
RCB’s batting unit, led by Virat Kohli, will need to play strategically rather than aggressively to counter CSK’s spin trio. Kohli’s improved ability to handle spin will be crucial, but he will need support from Phil Salt, Rajat Patidar, Liam Livingstone, and Jitesh Sharma. RCB might also consider adding Jacob Bethell for additional spin options while keeping an eye on Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s fitness.
Meanwhile, CSK’s middle order, which struggled against Mumbai Indians, will have to step up in this crucial encounter.
