After winning the toss in Match 52 of the IPL 2025, CSK skipper MS Dhoni opted to bowl first. RCB openers Jacob Bethell and Virat Kohli unleashed a fiery start by taking full advantage of the powerplay.

Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) have been impressive in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, but their upcoming clash against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium poses a serious challenge. While CSK is already out of the playoff race, they still have the power to derail RCB's momentum.

Virat Kohli and Jacob Bethel did the early running with well-crafted fifties, while Romario Shepherd applied the finishing touches with a brutal 14-ball unbeaten half-century as Royal Challengers Bengaluru raced to a massive 213 for five against Chennai Super Kings in an IPL match here on Saturday.
