CSK vs RCB: RCB Crushes CSK with a Dominant 50-Run Victory in IPL 2025

The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 is in full swing, and fans were treated to yet another thrilling contest as Chennai Super Kings (CSK) took on Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) on March 28, 2025, at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai. This much-anticipated battle between two of the biggest teams in the league had everything—power-packed batting, disciplined bowling, and high-energy moments. But at the end of the night, it was RCB who walked away with a commanding 50-run victory.

RCB Sets the Tone with a Solid Batting Performance

Winning the toss and electing to bat first, RCB put up an impressive total of 196/7 in their 20 overs. The innings was powered by a stellar performance from Rajat Patidar, who smashed 51 off 32 balls. His aggressive stroke play and fearless approach kept the scoreboard ticking, while contributions from the middle order ensured RCB reached a challenging total.

CSK’s bowling attack, led by Deepak Chahar and Ravindra Jadeja, tried to keep things tight, but RCB’s batters found a way to accelerate at the right moments. Faf du Plessis and Glenn Maxwell chipped in with useful runs, setting up a strong total for their bowlers to defend.

CSK’s Chase Falls Short

Chasing 197 to win, CSK got off to a shaky start as RCB’s bowlers kept things tight right from the first over. The experienced Mohammed Siraj and Lockie Ferguson struck early, removing key CSK batters within the powerplay.

Despite some fight from Shivam Dube and MS Dhoni, the home team never really found the momentum needed to chase down the target. The required run rate kept climbing, and CSK’s lower order couldn’t pull off a miracle. At the end of 20 overs, CSK managed just 146/8, falling 50 runs short of RCB’s total.
