CSK vs RCB IPL Live: Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) will aim to break a 17-year jinx at Chepauk when they take on Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in IPL 2025 on Friday. RCB has managed just one win at CSK’s home ground, dating back to the inaugural season in 2008. Virat Kohli, the only current RCB player who was part of that historic win, will look to lead his team past CSK’s formidable spin attack. Chennai’s bowling arsenal, featuring Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, and rising talent Noor Ahmad, has already troubled Mumbai Indians and will pose a significant challenge.
CSK, despite their home dominance, will want better performances from their middle order, which faltered in their previous match. With Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s fitness being monitored, RCB will have to make strategic decisions to finally end their Chepauk drought.

“It’s difficult, we don’t have much influence on what comes up. Each pitch has a different characteristic so we’ll work really hard to work out what’ll work and what we have and try to get us pretty well equipped for all conditions, because that’s been the key here,” said Fleming.

Speaking ahead of the contest against RCB, CSK head coach Stephen Fleming gave an update on the injury of Sri Lankan pacer Matheesha Pathirana.
“It’s only been one game and one game we won, so we’re not a team that tinkers that much. Pathirana is progressing nicely,” said Fleming.
After missing out on Chennai Super Kings’ campaign opener against Mumbai Indians, Sri Lankan pacer Matheesha Pathirana has also been ruled out of teams’ IPL 2025 match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
Speaking ahead of the contest against RCB, CSK head coach Stephen Fleming described the competition as even.
“Things change quite quickly. The RCB from last year, the CSK from last year are quite different. We don’t look at all into past performances. Certainly looking at their team Kohli is a big part of it, but they’ve got other strengths as well. The competition is really even this year,” said Fleming.
This will be the 34th match between CSK and RCB in IPL, with the Super Kings leading the head-to-head 21-11.
