CSK vs RCB IPL 2025: Match Highlights, Streaming Details & Key Moments
The Chennai Super Kings (CSK) suffered their second defeat of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season, losing to Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) by 50 runs. Chasing a target of 197, CSK managed only 146/8, with MS Dhoni providing some late fireworks by scoring an unbeaten 30 off 16 balls.
CSK’s Struggles in the Chase
CSK’s innings got off to a poor start as Josh Hazlewood dismissed Rahul Tripathi and Ruturaj Gaikwad in the second over, reducing them to 8/2. The batting lineup failed to build partnerships, and at one stage, CSK had lost seven wickets for just 99 runs. Dhoni walked in with 98 runs needed from 28 balls, and although he hit two sixes and a four in the final over, the game was already out of reach.
RCB’s Batting Performance
Batting first, RCB put up a competitive total of 196/7. While all top-order batters got off to decent starts, it was captain Rajat Patidar who led from the front with a crucial half-century. Virat Kohli scored 31, while Phil Salt added a quickfire 32 off 16 balls before being dismissed by MS Dhoni’s sharp glovework.
