The intense rivalry between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) is set to continue in IPL 2025, with their clashes on March 28 in Chennai and May 3 in Bengaluru highly anticipated. In their last encounter in IPL 2024, RCB’s victory secured their playoff spot while CSK faced a heartbreaking exit. Former CSK player Subramaniam Badrinath added fuel to the rivalry by mocking RCB in a viral video, where he humorously ignored the RCB representative while interacting with other IPL teams.
CSK has been a dominant force in the IPL, winning the trophy five times and setting high standards for consistency. In contrast, RCB, despite having star-studded lineups, is yet to win the IPL trophy. A major change for RCB in IPL 2025 is the appointment of Rajat Patidar as captain, after not retaining Faf du Plessis. CSK will be led by Ruturaj Gaikwad, who took over from MS Dhoni in IPL 2024.
The rivalry between these two teams is fierce, with their clashes always being highly anticipated. With the new season just around the corner, the tension between CSK and RCB is at an all-time high, fueled by Badrinath’s viral video mocking RCB.
