Chennai Super Kings were thoroughly outplayed by Royal Challengers Bengaluru in their home den at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chepauk for the first time in 17 years since their maiden meeting at the venue. Still, skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad downplayed the magnitude of Friday’s 50-run defeat to their arch-rivals. CSK were also deprived of a Playoffs in their previous meeting last year when RCB scripted a 27-run victory in their final league encounter at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, sparking interest towards the Chepauk face-off. However, CSK were playing catch-up from the start after opting to bowl first. The visitors put on their second-highest total against the Super Kings at the venue, with captain Rajat Patidar’s 32-ball 51 leading the charge to 196/7 in 20 overs. In reply, the CSK chase never got going as a clinical Bengaluru bowling effort restricted Gaikwad and Co. to a lowly 146/8, marking a 50-run defeat. Gaikwad, however, was not bothered by the margin of defeat, five days after they scraped past Mumbai Indians in a final-over win …

Aakash Chopra on CSK’s strange move

Chennai Super Kings lost their Indian Premier League clash against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru by a whopping margin of 50 runs on Friday. Dhoni walked in to bat with the score reading 99/7 after 15.2 overs. At that stage, the Chennai Super Kings still needed 98 runs in 28 balls for victory. But what was a little intriguing for fans was that CSK management had opted to send Ravichandran Ashwin above Dhoni with the game on the line. In fact, Dhoni was sent in as the No 9 batter by CSK. “CSK fans really love the sight of Dhoni walking into the middle and smashing sixes. But CSK fans must also want their team to win. And with the kind of hitting form that Dhoni has shown off-late, it’s only logical to expect him to give himself enough time to win games for CSK. Ashwin ahead of Dhoni vs RCB didn’t make sense,” former cricketer-turned-analyst Aakash Chopra posted on X. Ashwin had walked in to bat in the 13th over after Shivam Dube’s wicket when …

The match was filled with epic drama as after the first innings it looked like CSK were in control, but the Ruturaj Gaikwad-led side crumbled in their run-chase. Meanwhile, fans also got to watch MS Dhoni in action, who came in at no. 9 for CSK and entertained everyone with three fours and two sixes to remain unbeaten. Matthew Hayden was left in splits by a fellow commentator. It wasn’t just on the field, as the commentary box also had its fair share of drama, involving former CSK player Matthew Hayden and a fellow commentator. Commentary box drama RCB were tormented by CSK bowlers in the first innings, losing wickets easily. Meanwhile in the commentary box, Danny Morrison pointed out Rajat Patidar’s side have won only once in Chennai, and that match goes back to 2008. “Is that true in terms of stats, …

IPL 2025, CSK vs RCB SYNOPSIS: Having returned empty-handed from Chepauk since 2008, Royal Challengers Bengaluru put up a clinical show to decimate Chennai Super Kings. One year ago, at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, they dumped CSK out of the play-offs while reigniting a lopsided rivalry. On Friday, at MA Chidambaram Stadium, they tasted success against their Southern rivals for the first time since 2008. While the head-to-head read 22-11 in favour of CSK before this game, at the MA Chidambaram Stadium it was 8-1 in favour of the five-time champions. On Friday, RCB would finally put an end to that winless streak, and they did it in some style too. To silence Chepauk is one thing, but to walk out of the stadium with chants of “RCB, RCB” hanging in the air shows the dominant performance they put on that night. If the batting unit, led by Rajat Patidar, delivered a power-packed show, the bowlers dismantled Chennai part by part as they suffered their biggest defeat at Chepauk.

Virat Kohli fumes with heated outburst after slapping Pathirana for six right after fiery bouncer crashes his helmet

Known for his competitive and aggressive personality on the cricket field, Virat Kohli showcased his famous approach once again, when he smacked Matheesha Pathirana for a six in their IPL 2025 fixture, on Friday. Virat Kohli was angry after smacking Matheesha Pathirana for a six.(Twitter) After a slow start to his knock, where he reached 16 in 22 balls, Kohli used the 11th over of RCB’s innings to accelerate against CSK. In the first delivery, Pathirana sent a short ball, which Kohli missed and was it on the helmet. The physio rushed out to the pitch to do a concussion test, and Kohli was fine to continue. Then the Sri Lankan sends a short ball, which Kohli pulls with ease over fine leg for a maximum. Then he followed it up, with a shot over mid-wicket for a four. After his six, it looked like Kohli had woken up due to the hit on his helmet, and also exchanged a word or two with the bowler. Full video of Virat Kohli and Matheesa Pathirana altercation: …

The Chennai Super Kings spinners have ruled the roost in the CSK’s opening game against Mumbai Indians. The likes of R Ashwin, R Jadeja, and Noor Ahmed have been immaculate with their lines and lengths and played a key role in curtailing the MI lineup. However, ahead of CSK’s clash against Royal Challengers Bengaluru Cheteshwar Pujara believes that Virat Kohli is capable of taking down the CSK tweakers. “Virat is someone who is capable enough of taking down, whether it’s Ashwin or Jadeja. He is probably one of the best players of spin,” Pujara said in an interview. “Maybe not in this format if you look at just the numbers, but he is a quality player. I think if he can lead from the front and utilize that power play, and if RCB can get close to 60-70 in the first six, then they set up a good base for them,” he stated. Pujara would also reinstate that Kohli should continue with his current batting approach. “If they bat first, they need to be aggressive. …

Chennai Super Kings’ MS Dhoni and Mumbai Indians’ Suryakumar Yadav in action during IPL 2025. (Sportzpics for IPL) IPL 2025: What makes MS Dhoni a true original with the gloves, as he showed with the Suryakumar Yadav stumping There are two true originals in the game of cricket these days: Steve Smith and MS Dhoni. No one else can bat like Smith, no one else can bat and keep wickets like Dhoni. Dhoni doesn’t flick; he drags. He doesn’t drive; he shoves. He doesn’t cut; he chops. He doesn’t lean forward; he lunges. He doesn’t defend; he stabs. He doesn’t uppercut; he carves. But all that to an extent is still apeable, but no one has come close to copying his wicketkeeping skill, in particular his way to stump batsmen. He doesn’t collect the ball; he snatches it. He doesn’t ‘give’, that cushioning that wicketkeepers tend to deploy; he pounces on the ball even as he moves his hands forward towards the stumps. It’s a remarkable visual. So much so that in real-time view, it’s …

Both Chennai and Bengaluru are coming into the contest with confident wins.

Although both Josh Hazlewood and Bhuvneshwar are bowlers with similar skills and are effective in Powerplay with new ball however, looking at the number of left-handers in CSK’s batting unit, the 35-year-old seems like a tempting option for skipper Patidar. In this case, Yash Dayal might have to make way for Bhuvi and can come as an Impact Sub if RCB …
