The five-time IPL champions are all set to lock horns against table-toppers Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the 52nd game of the Indian Premier League 2025, slated to take place on May 3rd at M. Chinnaswamy Cricket Stadium in Bengaluru. The side has already been eliminated from the tournament after losing their last game against Punjab Kings by four wickets.
Despite getting knocked out, MS Dhoni and his men will be looking to not look back and aim to win the rest of the matches. Speaking about the same subject, here is the probable playing XI for CSK ahead of the clash against RCB.
Openers:
Sheikh Rasheed and Ayush Mhatre must be looking to give the flying start to the side. They both need to build a solid foundation at the start of the game. All eyes are set on Mhatre, as he will be the one to watch out for after Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s stellar performance for RR.
Batters:
Brevis has been known for his powerful stroke-playing ability. The star batter can be a game changer on this pitch and can guide CSK to win single-handedly. MS Dhoni will be looking to finish the game against their old rivals in their backyard.
All-rounders:
Sam Curran showcased his best form in the last game. He will be looking to get going with his form with both the bat and the ball. Jadeja will be the one to watch out for in this game. Dube and Hooda failed to mark their impact with both bat and ball, but still have chances to shine brilliantly.
Bowlers:
Noor Ahmad and Khaleel Ahmed have been the best bowlers on the side, taking scalps regularly. They will be the ones who can turn the game if they manage to get wickets of in-form RCB batters. Pathirana has been a death-versatile pacer and CSK’s go-to bowler in tough conditions.
