IPL 2025: Predicting RCB’s playing XI for their clash against CSK

This is the eighteenth season of the Indian Premier League and all the teams have geared up for the biggest tournament celebrating cricket. On Friday, 28th March, Royal Challengers Bangalore and Chennai Super Kings are going to lock horns against each other at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. RCB has been trying their luck to win their maiden IPL title. 

They looked in great form for the first game that they played against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the Eden Gardens, where RCB won by 7 wickets. On the other hand, CSK played the first game of the season against Mumbai Indians. They won their first match by four wickets. It is going to be very interesting to see which team is going to win the epic rivalry between the two popular teams. 

As per reports, it has come up that the star signing Bhuvneshwar Kumar will remain absent for the next match. It has come to light that the player is injured, because of which he has been left out of the playing XI for precautionary reasons in the previous match. But, there is a possibility that the young star can be fit for the CSK match and can join the playing XI. 

Let us take a look at the Predicted Playing XI of RCB for their clash against CSK:

Virat Kohli, Phil Salt, Rajat Patidar (C), Liam Livingstone, Krunal Pandya, Jitesh Sharma (WK), Tim David, Manoj Bhandage, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Josh Hazlewood, Yash Dayal, Suyash Sharma (Impact player)
