IPL 2025: Top 3 wicket-takers to watch out for CSK vs RCB 

Chennai Super Kings, the five-time champions of the Indian Premier League, will take on Royal Challengers Bangalore in an important match on May 3rd at the Chinnaswamy Stadium. Although Chennai has no chance of qualifying for the playoffs this season, they are eager to seek revenge for their earlier defeat against Royal Challengers Bangalore.

Chennai Super Kings currently occupy the bottom position in the standings, while the Royal Challengers Bangalore sit at the top of the table. Chennai has faced defeats in its last two matches against Sunrisers Hyderabad and Punjab Kings. Meanwhile, RCB is enjoying a strong winning streak, having triumphed in their last three games. Historically, Chennai has been a more dominant side in this rivalry, having won 21 of the 34 matches. Although Chinnaswamy can be considered a graveyard for the batters, there are three bowlers who may turn the tables come matchday.

3. Khaleel Ahmed

This season has seen the resurgence of this talented left-arm fast bowler. Khalil has been influential with the new ball, consistently picking up important wickets for his side. He has scalped 14 wickets in 10 innings at an economy of 8.55 runs an over. He will be shouldered with the responsibility to give important breakthroughs at the start of the innings.

2. Noor Ahmad

The left arm chinaman spinner from Afghanistan is one of the few players in the CSK squad who have shown consistency. He has taken 15 wickets in 10 innings at an economy of 8.2. His ability to drought boundaries in the middle phase is exceptional, and he will be the one to watch out for when Virat Kohli takes the crease.

1. Josh Hazlewood

The current Purple cap holder will look to terrorise Chennai’s young, inexperienced top order. He has already scalped 18 wickets in the last 10 innings. His disciplined line and length make it difficult for batters to go all out in attack mode. He will try to protect his purple cap by getting more wickets in this match
