Chennai Super Kings vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru Predictions


Both sides enjoyed opening wins to kick off their 2025 IPL seasons. The Super Kings have home advantage, and their three quality spinners have the ability to tie up the Royal Challengers batters.

  • Chennai Super Kings’ Rachin Ravindra has scored 112, 108, 37 & 65* in his last 5 innings.
  • Chennai Super Kings’ Ruturaj Gaikwad scored 53 off 26 balls (S/R 203.84) in the opening win over Mumbai Indians.
  • Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s Virat Kohli scored 59* off 36 balls in the opening win over the Knight Riders.
  • Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s Phil Salt has scored 55, 43, 26, 23 & 56 in his last 8 innings.

Head-to-Head


The Super Kings have won three of their last five matches against RCB, losing twice. RCB won the last match between the two last season.

Chennai Super Kings Form


The Super Kings sneaked home to beat Mumbai Indians in their season opener with a four-wicket win with five balls to spare.

Khaleel Ahmed (3/29, econ 7.25) knocked over the Mumbai openers early before Noor Ahmad (4.18, econ 4.50) ran through the middle order to reduce them to 118/7 in the 17th over. The tail wagged as they made it to 155/9 off their 20 overs. 

Rachin Ravindra (65* off 45 balls) and Ruturaj Gaikwad (53 off 26, S/R 203.84) got the innings off to a flier before a middle-order collapse slowed their progress. Ravindra saw the Super Kings to the win with five balls remaining.

Chennai Super Kings Team News


The Super Kings will want the rest of their batters to support their strong pair of Rachin Ravindra and Ruturaj Gaikwad. Their three-man spin attack will hold the key for them at home against RCB.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru Form


Royal Challengers picked up a strong win in their opener over the Knight Riders to put them second on the table on net run rate.  

Krunal Pandya (3/29, econ 7.25) knocked over half the Knight Riders’ top-order to restrict them to 145/5 after 15 overs. They ended their 20 overs on 174/8.

Phil Salt (56 off 31 balls) and Virat Kohli (59* off 36) got the chase off to a great start, adding 95 inside nine overs. Rajat Patidar (34 off 16) helped Kohli punch their way through to the win with 22 balls in hand.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru Team News


Royal Challengers had a big win over Mumbai in their opener, but their batting is limited if Kohli and Salt fail to fire.

Verdict

I am backing Chennai Super Kings to win. I am also backing Rachin Ravindra to top score for Chennai Super Kings.

Virat Kohli is a good bet to top score for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
