RCB Win By 50 Runs | CSK vs RCB Highlights of IPL 2025: Josh Hazlewood, Bowlers Help Royal Challengers Bengaluru Secure First Victory Against Chennai Super Kings In 17 Years At Chepauk

That's It! Some last moment fireworks from MS Dhoni but it will only entertain the crowd. In the end, CSK suffer a massive-50 run loss and this is the first victory of RCB at Chepauk in last 17 years. They had their first victory against CSK at Chepauk in 2008. After 17 years, they get their second and the streak is now broken. A top performance from the entire RCB playing XI and they will be happy going into the next game. 

Out! Josh Hazlewood comes back strong in the over. First gets hit for two boundaries off MS Dhoni and when he goes off strike, Ravindra Jadeja tries the same only to get holed out in the deep. A big defeat on the cards for CSK. Jadeja c Phil Salt b Hazlewood 25(19).

Out! Ravichandran Ashwin gets holed out in the deep. Shortish and on the leg stump, Ashwin rocks back and pulls, not enough power and he finds the fielder. Not that he could have done much. Meanwhile, MS Dhoni comes out to bat. Ashwin c Phil Salt b Livingstone 11(8).

Out! Yash Dayal has seemingly decided the game with his over. Comes in the middle overs despite being a middle-over specialist and nails his variations to first clean up Rachin Ravindra and then Shivam Dube. RCB's win seems to a wait of time now. Shivam Dube b Yash Dayal 19(15).

After trying to hold off the new ball by promoting their middle order batters, CSK have finally subbed in Shivam Dube. At this point CSK has to fire right now to have even a chance. Shivam Dube will not get time to get his eyes in. RCB will be happy with the situation. 

Out! Sam Curran departs and they keep sinking the hole of desperation. The situation demanded them to absolutely go hard on the spinners and they had no choice to go after Liam Livingstone who was tossing the balls up inviting the CSK batters to hit. Sam Curran miscues one and gets caught by long off. RCB are well-ahead in the game. Sam Curran c Krunal Pandya b Livingstone 8(13).

Absolutely horror start for CSK in the powerplay as they have lost three wickets and didn't get much runs to start with. They have now entered a rebuild phase at a time they needed to accelerate. Now the pressure keeps rising on them. 

Out! Another blow for CSK and they are in trouble now. Short of a good length ball just outside off, Hooda hangs back to poke with a slightly opened bat-face and gets a faint nick on the way to the hands of Jitesh Sharma. Bhuvneshwar Kumar gets his first wicket in the RCB colours and puts RCB comfortably on top here. Hooda c Jitesh Sharma b Bhuvneshwar 4(9).

Out! Body blow for CSK. Similar kind of dismissal. Josh Hazlewood goes into the wicket and asks Ruturaj Gaikwad to take him on. He goes for the pull shot and that side being the bigger side, Gaikwad holes out at the deep. Well-planned and executed by RCB.  Gaikwad c (sub)Bhandage b Hazlewood 0(4).

Out! A similar kind of dismissal for Rahul Tripathi. Josh Hazlewood, who is in good rhythm bounces him up and Rahul Tripathi fails trying to pull him. The ball hits on the sticker of the bat and scoops to Phil Salt at short mid-wicket. RCB draw early blood. Tripathi c Phil Salt b Hazlewood 5(3).

Tim David unveiled his berserk mode and launched Sam Curran into the stands thrice to give a strong finish to RCB. They end up getting to a very good total on the board. A solid batting performance from them and despite CSK bowlers striking regularly, they got hold of them on frequent occasions. Rajat Patidar will be happy with the score and back themselves to defend it. 

Out! Another one falls victim to Matheesha Pathirana. Changes the pace and uses his low release and Krunal Pandya ends up playing a nothing shot. The long on fielder settles and takes a good catch.  Krunal Pandya c Hooda b Pathirana 0(3).

Out! Rajat Patidar departs. Tries to move away, make some room and go over the offside but Pathirana gets enough tail on the ball to cramp him for room and he miscues it to the deep fielder. Big wicket for CSK as the well-set Patidar is finally dismissed. Rajat Patidar c Sam Curran b Pathirana 51(32).

Out! Jitesh Sharma gets dismissed after a cameo. He took on Noor Ahmed and Matheesha Pathirana and managed to bag some crucial boundaries for them. Takes on Khaleel Ahmed now but finds the fielder in the deep mid-wicket. Important wicket for CSK. Jitesh Sharma c Jadeja b Khaleel Ahmed 12(6).

Fifty for Rajat Patidar! His first of the season. He got dropped twice and some chances fell down away from the fielders but he has maximised the opportunity to take down the CSK spinners and has played through to the death overs looking for a strong finish for RCB. 

Out! Liam Livingstone departs and it is Noor Ahmad again. Liam Livingstone decides to take on Noor and slog sweeps him for a huge six. Next ball, Noor changes the pace and bowls a little flatter and Livingstone's sweep misses the target. But he has shown the right intent before getting bowled. Livingstone b Noor Ahmad 10(9).

Out! Virat Kohli tries to go big and perishes. Takes on Noor Ahmad after Rajat Patidar got dropped in the previous delivery but found the deep mid wicket fielder near the boundary line. Noor has been a menace and keeps troubling the batters. Kohli c Ravindra b Noor Ahmad 31(30).

That's some fire from Virat Kohli. Matheesha Pathirana hit him on the helmet and he strikes back immediately with consecutive boundaries in the over. He was struggling a bit before the over but the bouncer seems to have worked as an wake up call for him. 

Out! Devdutt Padikkal departs after a good cameo. He was taking on the spinners and did enough to get hold of Ravindra Jadeja. Just when he was looking dangerous, Ruturaj Gaikwad took a good low catch off Ravichandran Ashwin's bowling to sent him back to the dressing room. Crucial for CSK.  Padikkal c Gaikwad b Ashwin 27(14).

Out! He has done it again. It is MS Dhoni's lightning quick hands which has done the trick for CSK and they get their first wicket. Noor Ahmed bowls a similar delivery he did to Suryakumar Yadav and Phil Salt goes for the hoick. He missed the ball, lost balance for a moment and Dhoni cleaned up the bails in no time. Big wicket for CSK. Phil Salt st Dhoni b Noor Ahmad 32(16).
