RCB Win By Two Runs | RCB vs CSK Live Score Updates of IPL 2025: Virat Kohli, Jacob Bethell, Romario Shepherd Shine as Royal Challengers Bengaluru Secure Thrilling Win

The win was set up earlier by Virat Kohli (62) and Jacob Bethell (55) who were absolutely superb in the powerplay and first 10 overs. Later on, CSK did mount a comeback and it seemed RCB would fall short of the 200-run mark but then the five-time champions were hit by the Romario Shepherd storm. The West Indies smashed 53 runs off just 14 balls, a record knock that took RCB to 213/5. In response, young CSK openers started pretty well and it was Ayush Mhatre (94) who stole the show with his strokeplay at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. He and Ravindra Jadeja (77) kept CSK on top for a good part of the game but the five-time champions fell short in the end by just two runs. For RCB, it was Lungi Ngidi (3/30) who took three wickets while Yash Dayal (1/41) and Krunal Pandya (1/24) got one each. RCB will take a lot of confidence from this win as they head into their next match, against Lucknow Super Giants on May 9. CSK, on the other hand, will look to secure two points and play for pride when they face defending champions KKR on May 7.
