With Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 in full swing, eight out of ten teams have played their opening matches. Sunrisers Hyderabad currently sit atop the points table with one win, while RCB, CSK, and Delhi Capitals also registered wins in their first games.
The tournament has already delivered exciting contests, but all eyes are now on the mega showdown between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB).
CSK vs RCB – A clash of Titans on March 28
One of the biggest matches of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 is just around the corner. On March 28, two of the league’s most passionate fan bases will witness a high-stakes battle between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) at the M. A. Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.
The game kicks off at 7:30 PM IST and will be broadcast live on Star Sports Network, with live streaming available on JioCinema.
A look back at last season’s controversial clash
Their previous encounter in last year’s IPL was nothing short of dramatic. It was a must-win match for both teams in the race for the playoffs. RCB needed to win by at least 17 runs to qualify, while CSK could afford a loss within that margin to advance. In a thrilling finish, RCB secured a 27-run win, knocking CSK out of the competition and booking their own spot in the playoffs.
Dhoni’s reaction still fresh in memory
The aftermath of that match became one of the most talked-about moments of the season. RCB players celebrated their win enthusiastically, but a slight delay in the customary handshake line appeared to upset MS Dhoni. In an unexpected turn, Dhoni walked off the field without shaking hands with the RCB players.
With history, rivalry, and unfinished business at stake, CSK will be eager for redemption, while RCB will look to assert their dominance once again. This showdown promises to be one of the most electrifying matches of IPL 2025.
