RCB have played 31 games against CSK in the IPL, winning 12 and losing 21 of those encounters. Click here to get all the head-to-head records.
RCB have played far more better cricket than CSK in the IPL 2025, so expect them to beat the Men in Yellow.
443 runs in 10 innings at an average of 63.29 and a strike rate of 138.87 – Virat Kohli is currently the third-highest run-getter in the IPL 2025. The RCB batter also has a solid record against CSK.
It would be tough to look past Josh Hazlewood, considering the Australian seamer is currently the leading wicket-taker in the IPL 2025. The right-armer has claimed 18 wickets in 10 games at an average of 17.28.
The M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru has hosted four games so far in the IPL 2025, and the batters here have scored runs at an average of 25.8 and a rate of 8.9. The average first-innings score at this venue is 158, suggesting the venue hasn't proved to be a heaven for batters like it has in the past. The spinners have been slightly more economical, but it's the seamers who have a better average and strike rate.
There's a 40 percent chance of rain during the match hours on May 2, but the venue has a terrific drainage system and we should hopefully get a full game. The temperature is likely to be around 23-26 degrees Celsius.
