Bengaluru is all set to host the RCB vs CSK IPL 2025 reverse fixture on Saturday, May 3. The match starts at 7:30 PM IST at the Chinnaswamy Stadium. CSK is already out of the playoffs race. A win here for RCB will take them to 16 points and a step closer to the playoffs.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru has had a very good season so far. They have won every game away from home. They lost three games at home but brought an end to that cycle with a win over RR. The team looks settled across departments and is one of the most settled ones this season.
Virat Kohli's form with the bat has been key. Phil Salt has played his part at the top. The likes of Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Krunal Pandya and Josh Hazlewood, with their contributions, have made the team look very complete. CSK, on the other hand, is the first team to be knocked out of the season. Nothing has clicked for them so far this season.
