CCSK Vs RCB Match in 2025 will be played at the Chepauk Stadium in Chennai today. The match is scheduled to take place between Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore. At the start of the season, RCB could not have had more varied and challenging home fixtures than the back-to-back encounters between KKR and CSK. Given the true nature of the Eden Gardens pitch and the make-up of RCB’s line-up, Kolkata could have been the easier of the two Tests for the defending champions, with batsmen full of batsmen happy to hit shots across the line at a blistering pace. Historically, even RCB’s best teams have seemed to falter on Chennai’s slow, turning tracks, a struggle evident in their miserable record at the home of their big rivals: just one win in nine matches.
IPL 2025 match report:
The eighth match of IPL 2025 will be played today at the Chepauk Stadium in Chennai. This match will be played between Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore. Both the teams have won their first match of the season. In such a situation, the aim of both will be to take their winning caravan forward here. Chennai’s team defeated Mumbai Indians at their home in the first match.
At the same time, RCB defeated KKR at their home, Eden Gardens in Kolkata. In such a situation, it will be interesting to see how RCB plays in Chennai’s stronghold.Of RCB’s top-eight in the IPL 2025 opener, only captain Rajat Patidar boasts a better strike-rate against spin than pace while Phil Salt and Jitesh Sharma come close to parity. While this makes them seem somewhat vulnerable against a high-quality attack featuring Ravindra Jadeja,Noor Ahmad and Ravichandran Ashwin, the tradeoff is understandable. The line-up is built to maximise the seven home games in Bengaluru and the several other standardized, batting-friendly surfaces across the country.
How will be the pitch:
The Chennai pitch has traditionally been helpful for spinners and slow bowlers. This was also seen in the last match played here. Spinners dominated the first match played between Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings. This can be gauged from the fact that spinners bowled 25 out of 40 overs in both innings. In this too, 14 out of 20 overs of the second innings were bowled by spin bowlers. Mumbai Indians’ new spinner Vignesh Puthur showed his spin bowling prowess here. At the same time, Noor Ahmed also wreaked havoc.

Spinners will be shining:
It is not expected that spinners will dominate the match between CSK and RCB. Rather, both the teams will show their respective prowess. This is well known. Chennai has Ravindra Jadeja, R Ashwin and Noor Ahmed in the team. Noor Ahmed took four wickets in the last match. At the same time, RCB also has reliable spinners like Krunal Pandya and Suyash Sharma. They also have Swapnil Singh, who was very effective in the last season.
Toss will be the boss:
Toss will be the bossIn Chennai, teams like to bowl first after winning the toss. In the last 10 matches played here, teams have preferred to chase the target seven times. At the same time, in the last five matches, the team batting in the second innings has won four. In such a situation, the role of toss is going to be very important in this match as well. Apart from this, there have been low scoring matches in Chennai. In such a situation, once again the batsmen may have to work very hard to score runs here.
