Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will play against the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the 52nd match of the IPL 2025 at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. This game has a lot of things at stake, as CSK, led by MS Dhoni, is back here after one year. In IPL 2024, RCB had a good run of six games unbeaten, and the game against CSK was crucial for RCB to get into the playoffs.
RCB has the upper hand going into the game. This season, RCB appears to be in good form and is going to be the first team to qualify for the playoffs. Meanwhile, CSK is having one of the worst seasons in IPL history. Sitting in last place, CSK are now eliminated from IPL 2025. But while facing RCB, the team will look to break RCB’s dream of being the first team to qualify in IPL 2025 playoffs.
1. Virat Kohli:
Virat Kohli is in great form despite taking retirement from T20 cricket for India. The star batter for RCB has smashed 443 runs from ten games and has the highest of 73 runs. Currently, he stands in the second spot for most runs scored in IPL 2025. Virat has also smashed six half-centuries. In the game against DC, Virat scored 50 runs and hoped to maintain the form during RCB’s game against CSK.
2. Phil Salt:
Phil Salt, who was injured and missed the previous game, will be back in the starting lineup as RCB gets ready to play CSK. Salt has scored 239 runs in the nine innings he featured and helped RCB to get a strong start in the powerplay. He usually loves to attack in power-play overs. Phil Salt will be an important key for RCB in the game as the teams want to get closer to playoff qualification.
3. Dewald Brevis:
Ever since Dewald Brevis came as a replacement in the CSK squad, the team has shown some fighting.. Brevis’ power hitting might provide CSK a significant edge, particularly during the powerplay. In the game against Brevis scored 42, which helped CSK to reach the 155-run mark. As the game is in RCB’s home stadium, Brevis will look to score a large number of runs.
