From Crown to Crisis: RR Faces RCB’s Royal Challenge! RCB vs RR Match Prediction & Analysis The Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) are set to face the Rajasthan Royals (RR) in Match 42 of IPL 2025 on April 24 at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. RCB has three wins in the last five games and is currently in third place with 10 points. In contrast, RR has lost four out of the last five games and has four points in eight games. In their most recent outing on April 20, 2025, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) showcased a dominant performance against Punjab Kings (PBKS). After opting to field first, RCB’s bowlers restricted PBKS to a modest total of 157/6, with notable contributions from Suyash Sharma and Krunal Pandya, who claimed two wickets each. RCB’s innings was anchored by a commanding 103-run partnership between Virat Kohli and Devdutt Padikkal. RCB won the game by 7 wickets. In their most recent match on April 19, 2025, the Rajasthan Royals (RR) endured a narrow 2-run defeat against the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). This loss marked RR’s fourth consecutive defeat, highlighting their struggles in closing out matches despite strong individual performances. Yashaswi Jaiswal scored 74 runs in the game while Hasaranga picked up two wickets. TEAMS PREVIEW Royal Challengers Bengaluru Preview RCB’s top order has been instrumental in setting strong foundations this season. Virat Kohli leads the team’s run-scoring with 322 runs at an average of 64. He has 4 half-centuries. He will be the batter to watch out for. Phil Salt complements Kohli with his aggressive approach, amassing 213 runs at a strike rate of 178, the highest among RCB’s top-order batters. Salt’s aggressive 65 off 33 balls, featuring five fours and six sixes, earned him the Player of the Match award in RCB’s last game against RR. Devdutt Paddikal will come at number three. Paddikal scored 61 off 35 balls in RCB’s last win over PBKS. Rajat Patidar will come in the middle with Tim David, Jitesh Sharma, and Liam Livingstone. Patidar has 221 runs in 7 innings at a strike rate of 151. Tim David has played an impactful role for RCB this season. In 5 innings, he has 142 runs at a strike rate of 194.52. He has been out only once in these innings. Sharma and Livingstone have a collective strike rate of 133. Sharma has taken 9 catches behind the stumps while Livingstone has 2 wickets with the ball too. Rajasthan Royals Preview Rajasthan Royals (RR) will be without their captain and key batter, Sanju Samson, who recovering from an abdominal injury sustained during RR’s Super Over defeat to Delhi Capitals. This will be a major blow for RR as Samson is currently their second leading run-scorer with 223 runs at an economy of 143.58. Vaibhav Suryavanshi will continue to open with Yashaswi Jaiswal in his absence. 14-year-old Suryavanshi made a debut with a quickfire 34 off 20 balls, including three sixes, and shared an 85-run partnership with Yashasvi Jaiswal in the last game. Jaiswal will be the batter to watch out for. He has 307 runs with a strike rate of 140 and has scored 4 half-centuries. Nitish Rana will come at number three. Rana has a strike rate of 177. But he has failed to convert his fire into a big innings. Riyan Parag will be leading the RR side against RCB. Parag has 212 runs at a strike rate of 148.25. He will come in the middle with Shimron Heytmyer, Dhruv Jurel & Shubham Dubey. Jurel has 191 runs with a strike rate of 154. Meanwhile, Dubey, in limited appearances, has shown promise as a finisher—his 34* off 11 balls against SRH being a highlight—yet he lacks the exposure and consistency to be a dependable threat just yet. Weather Conditions The weather at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru is expected to be sunny on match day, with temperatures ranging between 22 and 34 degrees Celsius. Winds will blow from the southeast at 8-15 km/h. It is a batting-friendly pitch. With its short boundaries and high altitude, the Chinnaswamy Stadium is a paradise for batters in limited-overs cricket, where towering totals are often posted—and chased—without breaking a sweat.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Punjab Kings𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : April 18, Friday 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 17:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru, India 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Indian Premier League 2025 Punjab Kings’ test to end the Chinnaswamy jinx Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Punjab Kings TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. RCB vs PBKS Match Prediction & Analysis We are in the midseason of the Indian Premier League 2025 and teams are fighting hard to improve their position on the points table. We expect a cracker of a contest where hosts Royal Challengers Bengaluru face the Punjab Kings in the 34th game. Both teams have 8 points after six games. A win here will take them to the top of the points table. The Royal Challengers defeated the Rajasthan Royals in their last game and look confident. The Punjab Kings will look to build on their momentum after a win against the Kolkata Knight Riders. The Royal Challengers Bengaluru have won the last three games against the Punjab Kings, which will make the team confident. They play at home and know the conditions well on this wicket. The Punjab Kings have a poor record at this venue, which can play on their minds. Their batsmen struggled in the last game. Whether the Kings can overcome the odds and do well in this contest remains to be seen. TEAMS PREVIEW Royal Challengers Bengaluru Preview Rajat Patidar’s team has impressed everyone with its consistency and dominating performances this season. They defeated the Rajasthan Royals in the last game by 9 wickets. It was an excellent show from the batting lineup as they clinically chased down the big total. Punjab Kings have done well this year, and Patidar would like his team to play aggressively and use the home advantage to move to the top spot on the points table. Phillip Salt is taking on the bowlers aggressively and will look to deliver a strong start in this game with Virat Kohli. Devdutt Padikkal will look to steer the innings in the middle order and add runs with Liam Livingstone and Jitesh Sharma. The side has depth in the batting lineup and expects runs from Tim David, Krunal Pandya, and Bhuvneshwar Kumar. Bhuvneshwar Kumar did well with the new ball in the last game and must get early breakthroughs with Yash Dayal. Krunal Pandya is troubling the batters, and he must keep up the pressure in the middle overs with Josh Hazlewood. The side expects good spells from Suyash Sharma and Liam Livingstone in the supporting role, as the Punjab Kings have good hitters. Punjab Kings Preview Shreyas Iyer will be proud of his bowlers and how they foxed the Kolkata Knight Riders in the last game. In a game where the batting lineup failed miserably, the bowling attack pulled a win out of thin air, winning the game by 16 runs. Iyer will expect a better show from his batsmen in this game. They have struggled against RCB, and Iyer would look to improve this record. Priyansh Arya has been the leading batter for the team this season and must deliver a good start in this game with Prabhsimran Singh. Shreyas Iyer will look to anchor the innings and do well in the middle order with Josh Inglis and Nehal Wadhera. The team expects quick runs in the lower middle order from Glenn Maxwell, Suryansh Shedge, and Marco Jansen. The bowling attack put up one of the best bowling performances in IPL history, and the team will be confident. Marco Jansen and Xavier Bartlett must get early breakthroughs to put the team in a strong position. Yuzvendra Chahal bowled a dream spell in the last game, and he will look to keep the scoring under check with Arshdeep Singh. Glenn Maxwell and Suryansh Shedge add balance to this attack. Weather Conditions We expect another warm evening in Bengaluru. The flat wicket is easy for the batsmen. There is very little assistance for the bowlers. The average first innings score at this venue is 173 runs. The side batting first would need a minimum of 200 runs to feel safe on this track. A placid pitch, fast outfield, and shorter boundaries make M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru, one of the best T20 venues in the world. We have seen several high-scoring encounters at this venue, and batters find it easy to play on this surface where there is little support for the bowlers. Toss: To Bowl The side chasing the score has won four out of the last five games. The surface has been slower than usual, and setting up a total here isn’t easy, as we see big run chases at this venue. Both teams would take a cue from their previous wins and opt to bowl first.

RR vs RCB Match Prediction & Analysis The competition has touched the roof in the Indian Premier League 2025, where we see changes at the top of the points table with every game. The Rajasthan Royals will look to improve their position on the points table as they take on the Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the 28th game. RCB went down against the Delhi Capitals in their last game. The Rajasthan Royals also enter this game with a loss against the Gujarat Titans. The Royal Challengers Bengaluru have their openers in good form and on a flat batting surface they will look to play to their strengths. The bowling attack also has bowlers suited for these conditions. The Rajasthan Royals’ bowlers have struggled this year, which will be challenging for the side against the force that RCB is. Both sides will look to move up on the points table, and we expect a close contest. TEAMS PREVIEW Rajasthan Royals Preview Sanju Samson’s team must put the upset against the Gujarat Titans behind them. They bowled poorly and lost the game by 58 runs. The team has a strong batting lineup, but the bowling attack is inconsistent. It will be a tough challenge for the team against the Royal Challengers in this game.

Shimron Hetmyer has done well in the lower middle order, and the team expects him to add quick runs in the game with Shubham Dubey.

They had the game in the bag, but they had a poor bowling performance in the death overs, losing the game by 6 wickets. The team has a strong batting lineup, and Patidar expects a better show from his bowlers in this game to move up on the points table. The side expects fireworks from Virat Kohli and Phillip Salt, as both players are in good form. They must take on Rajasthan’s bowlers, who are low on confidence. The middle order has struggled in a few games, and the team expects Devdutt Padikkal, Rajat Patidar, and Liam Livingstone to build big partnerships. The team has depth in the batting and expects quick runs from Jitesh Sharma, Krunal Pandya, and Tim David. The bowlers failed to deliver the goods as a group in the last game. The team expects a good start with the new ball from Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Yash Dayal. Josh Hazlewood and Suyash Sharma must pick wickets in the middle overs and trouble the batters. The side expects a good show in the supporting role from Krunal Pandya and Liam Livingstone. Weather Conditions We will see clear skies at Jaipur. It will be a good batting surface where batsmen can hit through the line. Bowlers will have a tough time on this wicket and must bowl well to get rewards. The average first-innings score is 161 runs, and team batting first would target 180 plus to feel comfortable on this surface. RR vs RCB Pitch Report Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur, is a batsman’s paradise. The wicket has true bounce and pace, allowing batters to hit through the line. Spinners enjoy bowling on this surface as the ball bounces and turns sharply. It is a tough wicket for the bowlers as the dryness doesn’t offer them much. Toss: To Bowl Defending scores at this venue is tough. The wicket can be tricky to bat at the start of the game, but the batting conditions improve as the game progresses. The side won’t hesitate to bowl first and aim to restrict the opposition to a small total.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Delhi Capitals 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : April 10, Thursday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 07:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru, India 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Indian Premier League 2025 RCB have had Delhi Capitals’ number in recent IPL seasons. Out of their last five meetings, Bengaluru came out on top in all but one encounter. Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Delhi Capitals TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. TEAMS PREVIEW Royal Challengers Bengaluru Preview Royal Challengers Bengaluru have kicked off IPL 2025 in strong fashion. They’ve played four games so far, winning three and dropping just one. Their latest outing was a nail-biter — a 12-run win over Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede. After putting up a solid 221-5 batting first, they held their nerve with the ball, even as MI threatened a late comeback. The runs were well spread out this time. Virat Kohli was at it again, scoring a fluent 67 off 42. He’s now topping the charts for RCB this season with 167 runs from four games at an average of 54.66 and a strike rate of 143.85. Rajat Patidar led the side with intent, blasting 64 off just 32, while Jitesh Sharma’s unbeaten 40 off 19 and Devdutt Padikkal’s 37 off 22 kept the momentum going. RCB’s lineup looks deep and dangerous, with Tim David batting as low as seven. Philip Salt hasn’t quite clicked yet, but he’s due — and a quick 30-plus knock could be just around the corner. Delhi Capitals Preview Delhi Capitals have had a flying start to the season, winning all three games with ease and sitting at the top of the table. Their latest win was a 25-run result over Chennai Super Kings at Chepauk. On a sluggish pitch, DC posted 183-6 and then kept CSK to 158-5 with disciplined bowling. KL Rahul led the charge with a fluent 77 off 51. His calm presence at the top makes a big difference—he can keep the scoreboard ticking and also shift gears when needed. The middle-order looks in good shape too, with Abishek Porel, Tristan Stubbs, and Axar Patel all looking dependable and capable of putting runs on the board. Jake Fraser-McGurk hasn’t fired yet this season, but we’ve seen what he can do last season when he finds rhythm. A flat pitch like Chinnaswamy might be the perfect setup for him to play a quick, impactful knock. Ashutosh Sharma’s finishing skills also give DC that edge at the death—he can take down any attack in the last few overs. Weather Conditions Batsmen love the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium pitch, and for good reason – it’s usually flat and true, perfect for big hitting. Spinners can make an impact in the middle stages if the pitch offers grip, as we saw in the previous contest here. Conditions, however, will probably heavily favor batting with minimal assistance for bowlers. The forecast calls for mild, somewhat cloudy conditions in Bengaluru during game time, but no rain threat means we’ll likely get a complete match without weather interruptions. At M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, teams batting first typically average 168 runs. But this venue often delivers big scores – Sunrisers Hyderabad smashed 287 against RCB here in IPL 2024, setting a new tournament record. For this match, the side batting first will likely aim for 210-220 to feel comfortable. Toss: To Bat Looking at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium’s recent history, we see a clear pattern emerging. The team taking first strike has won four of the previous six IPL contests held at this ground. Such statistics point to a noticeable benefit when establishing a total instead of pursuing one. Given these figures, the smart play appears to be batting first whenever possible at this venue.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Mumbai Indians vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : April 07, Monday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 19:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai City, India 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Indian Premier League 2025 Mumbai Indians have dominated Royal Challengers Bengaluru at Wankhede, winning eight matches while losing only three. Mumbai Indians vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. MI vs RCB Match Prediction & Analysis Match 20 of the IPL 2025 sees Mumbai Indians (MI) hosting Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at Wankhede this Monday. It’s been a bumpy ride for Mumbai so far—three tough losses and just one solid win at home. RCB kicked things off strongly with two convincing victories, but their momentum took a hit after a big loss to Gujarat Titans. Can Mumbai find their rhythm again, or will RCB bounce back and hand them another defeat? TEAMS PREVIEW Mumbai Indians Preview It’s been a bumpy IPL season so far for Mumbai Indians. They’ve picked up just one win at home, while losing all three away matches. Their only real high point was the win over KKR at Wankhede, but away from home, they’ve been poor. In the last match, they fell short by 12 runs chasing 204 against LSG. Their top order hasn’t fired consistently. Will Jacks and Ryan Rickelton have had their moments but haven’t done enough. Rohit Sharma missed the last game and hasn’t been in great rhythm lately, so expectations from him aren’t high at this stage. Tilak Varma couldn’t find the boundary at the right time in their last match, and that slow patch proved costly. But the Wankhede should suit his game better, and he might come good here. Suryakumar Yadav, on the other hand, has been excellent—171 runs in four innings, averaging 57 and a strike rate over 160. Royal Challengers Bengaluru Preview Royal Challengers Bengaluru got off to a strong start with away wins over KKR and CSK. But things took a turn when they played at home for the first time this season, going down to Gujarat Titans. RCB batted first at the batting-friendly M. Chinnaswamy Stadium and posted a below-par 169-8. Gujarat had no trouble chasing that, getting there in just 17.2 overs and losing only two wickets. It was a tough outing for RCB, and they’ll want to shake it off quickly and get back in the groove. The top order is clicking well. Virat Kohli, Philip Salt, and Rajat Patidar have all looked solid. Patidar has chipped in twice already, and Salt should enjoy the surface at the Wankhede—expect him to go hard from the start and get a quickfire 25-30 runs. Kohli loves playing here too, averaging over 40 with five fifties at a strike rate of 136. After a couple of quiet outings, he’ll be keen to make it count. Liam Livingstone, who hadn’t done much in the first two games, found his rhythm with a 54 off 40 against GT—the highest score for RCB that day. Further down, Jitesh Sharma and Tim David are reliable for late-over firepower. David was especially impressive in the last match, hammering 32* off just 18 and proving he can do real damage. Weather Conditions The Wankhede track is generally flat and run-friendly. Still, expect some movement for pacers under lights, especially in the opening overs with the new ball. Once batters weather this challenging start, run-scoring becomes much easier. Spin bowlers typically find little assistance here with minimal turn available. The pitch should be hard and firm, making life difficult for slower bowlers. Expect extremely sticky and warm conditions in Mumbai, though rain won’t be a factor during the match. MI vs RCB Pitch Report The Wankhede Stadium usually sees first-innings scores averaging 170. RCB holds the IPL record here with 235-1 against MI in 2015. Last season alone, four matches produced totals exceeding 200, including Mumbai Indians’ massive 234-5 versus Delhi Capitals. Considering how runs flow at this stadium, both teams will likely aim for 190-200 to feel comfortable about their chances. Toss: To Bowl The numbers favor chasing at Wankhede Stadium, with teams batting second winning 65 T20 matches compared to 54 victories for teams setting targets. This trend comes from a total of 119 T20 games played at the venue.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 :Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Gujarat Titans𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : April 02, Wednesday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 19:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 :M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru, India𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Indian Premier League, 2025 Royal Challengers Bengaluru defeated Gujarat Titans in both their clashes in IPL 2024. New Zealand vs Pakistan TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. RCB vs GT Match Prediction & Analysis Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) face Gujarat Titans (GT) in the 14th match of IPL 2025 in Bengaluru. RCB have exceeded expectations so far, securing two dominant wins and carrying strong momentum into this home fixture. Gujarat Titans bounced back well after an early setback and will be eager to keep that going. Both teams come in with confidence, but with RCB playing at home and in top form, they head into this clash as the team to beat. TEAMS PREVIEW Royal Challengers Bengaluru Preview Royal Challengers Bengaluru couldn’t have asked for a better start to their season. Two away matches, two dominant victories—they’ve set the tone early and look like strong contenders. Their latest win was a commanding 50-run triumph over Chennai Super Kings at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. After putting up 196-7, they kept the hosts to just 146-8. RCB’s batting lineup is in excellent shape, with Virat Kohli, Philip Salt, and Rajat Patidar all looking solid. Patidar has stepped up with crucial performances in both games, while Salt will relish the batting-friendly conditions at Chinnaswamy. An aggressive start from him seems likely. Kohli, who thrives at this venue with an average of over 40, has registered four centuries and 22 fifties here. Another big knock is on the cards. Lower down the order, Jitesh Sharma and Tim David can be counted on for quick runs in the final overs. Batting has always been RCB’s strong suit, but this season, their bowling looks sharp too. Josh Hazlewood’s inclusion has been a game-changer—five wickets in two matches at an economy of just 5.37 speak volumes. Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s presence alongside him gives RCB a dependable pace attack in the powerplay. Krunal Pandya, Yash Dayal, and Liam Livingstone add more options in the middle overs, ensuring a balanced attack. Gujarat Titans Preview After falling short in their opening game against Punjab Kings, Gujarat Titans bounced back with a convincing 36-run win over Mumbai Indians at home. They put up a solid 196-8 after batting first and kept MI to 160-6. Sai Sudharsan once again led the charge, scoring a composed 63 off 41 balls. This was his second consecutive fifty, proving his consistency at the top. He has been anchoring the innings well, which makes him a dependable presence. Captain Shubman Gill has been getting starts but hasn’t converted them into a big score yet. Given his current form and the batting-friendly conditions, he looks due for a standout performance soon. Jos Buttler is another batter to keep an eye on. He’s already scored 54 (off 33) and 39 (off 24) in the tournament and appears set for another impactful knock of 30+ runs at number three. Gujarat’s main concern is their middle and lower order, which hasn’t looked convincing. If early wickets fall, they could be in trouble. Shahrukh Khan and Rahul Tewatia haven’t found their rhythm, and much will depend on how Impact Player Sherfane Rutherford handles the pressure in case of a collapse. Weather Conditions The pitch at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium has always been known to favour batters. The surface here tends to be rather flat, allowing batsmen to play through the line and smash big ones. Spinners do get some help in the middle overs, but since this is the first game of the season to be played at the venue, it is more likely to be a batting paradise with very little for the bowlers. The weather in Bengaluru will be slightly cloudy and cool during the evening, but there is no forecast of rain so we should get a full match. RCB vs GT Pitch Report The average score batting first at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium is 168. However, you should expect a high-scoring game here. In IPL 2024, the Chinnaswamy stadium produced the highest team total in the league’s history – 287 by Sunrisers Hyderabad versus Royal Challengers Bengaluru. The team batting first would be eyeing a score of around 220-230 in this contest. Toss: To Bat Four of the last five IPL matches at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium have been won by the team batting first. This shows that the venue usually favors setting a target and batting first would be the better choice here.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Chennai Super Kings vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : March 28, Friday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 19:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : M. A. Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai, India𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : IPLT20 2025 Chennai Super Kings have lost just one game out of nine against Royal Challengers Bengaluru at Chepauk. Chennai Super Kings vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. CSK vs RCB Match Prediction & Analysis Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) lock horns in what promises to be a thrilling battle at the MA Chidambaram Stadium for match eight of IPL 2025. Both teams head into this clash with confidence after securing wins in their opening games. While CSK have often had the upper hand in past encounters, RCB appear more well-rounded this season. Expect a high-intensity showdown with both sides pushing for an early edge in the tournament. TEAMS PREVIEW Chennai Super Kings Preview Chennai Super Kings (CSK) kicked off their IPL 2025 campaign with a solid win over long-time rivals Mumbai Indians. Playing on a typical slow Chepauk surface, their spinners kept MI in check, limiting them to 155-9. The chase wasn’t without hiccups, but CSK reached the target with four wickets in hand and five balls remaining. Rachin Ravindra anchored the innings with a composed 65 off 45 deliveries, while skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad provided early momentum with a brisk 53 off 26. Apart from their contributions, the batting lineup struggled, yet the team managed to get the job done. CSK will once again count on strong starts from Rachin and Gaikwad. Gaikwad, in particular, has a great record at Chepauk and will be counted on to deliver. Shivam Dube is expected to take on RCB’s spinners in the middle phase, while Vijay Shankar could be considered in place of Deepak Hooda to stabilize the middle order. Royal Challengers Bengaluru Preview Royal Challengers Bengaluru made a strong statement in their season opener, pulling off a convincing win against defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders on their own turf. They kept KKR to 174-8 and then chased it down comfortably in 16.2 overs, losing only three wickets along the way. Bengaluru delivered in all departments, with Philip Salt (56 off 31) and Virat Kohli (59* off 36) putting on a batting masterclass at the top to make things easy in the chase. Rajat Patidar played his part as well, smashing 34 off just 16 balls to seal the victory. Their top order looks solid with Kohli, Salt, Patidar, and Liam Livingstone, while Jitesh Sharma, Tim David, and Krunal Pandya provide depth in the middle and lower order. Josh Hazlewood could be a game-changer for RCB this season. The Australian pacer was outstanding against KKR, picking up 2-22, and will enjoy bowling at Chepauk. Krunal Pandya’s 3-29 played a decisive role in the previous match, making him a key asset on slower tracks. RCB will also count on Suyash Sharma, Livingstone, and Yash Dayal to pick up wickets in the middle overs. Weather Conditions Chepauk will offer a spin-friendly surface as we saw in the first game here, which becomes slower in the second innings. Batters will look to maximize the powerplay overs because once the ball loses its shine, it will start to turn and grip more. Spinners will have a field day and are likely to bowl the maximum number of overs. The weather in Chennai will be hot and humid but clear. CSK vs RCB Pitch Report Chepauk’s average first-innings score is 159. In the first match of IPL 2025 played at the venue, MI scored 155-9 after batting first, and CSK chased the target down in 19.1 overs with four wickets in hand. Expect another slowish surface with plenty of assistance to spinners. The team batting first will target a score of around 170-180 to feel confident. Toss: To Bat Batting first is usually the better option at Chepauk, unless the team is bundled out for a below-par score. The wicket slows down over time, making it harder to chase later in the game.

The IPL 2024 was huge success for Kolkata Knight Riders, with the Shah Rukh Khan-owned franchise winning its third title. IPL, overall as an entity, has grown manifold financially too in the past one year. Houlihan Lokey, a global investment bank, in its latest report has said that IPL’s business value grew by 6.5 per cent while its brand value increased by 6.3 per cent over the past one year. The report also said revealed the IPL franchises’ brand value and surprisingly the star-studded Mumbai Indians or Royal Challengers Bengaluru are not the most valued team. “Houlihan Lokey, Inc. (NYSE:HLI), the global investment bank, today issued the 2024 IPL Brand Valuation Study, its comprehensive report into the business enterprise and brand values of the Indian Premier League (IPL),” a press release from the bank said. “According to the report, the value of IPL as a business has surged to US$16.4 billion, up by 6.5% (INR 135,000 crores), reflecting the continued strength and global appeal of the league. The stand-alone brand value of the IPL has increased by 6.3% to US$3.4 billion (INR 28,000 crores), over the past year. “The title sponsorship for the IPL has been secured by the Tata Group for a further five-year period, from 2024 until 2028, for approximately US$300 million (INR 2,500 crores), paying approximately 50% more than the previous deal of INR 335 crores per season. This, along with last year’s media rights auction, reinforces the IPL’s status as a pivotal platform for esteemed brands seeking to enhance their value.” The Report added that the most valued IPL franchise is Chennai Super Kings. “In terms of valuation, despite failing to make it to the playoffs in 2024, with a brand value of US$231.0 million, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) continues to be the most valued franchisee, achieving a growth of 9% from the previous year. IPL 2024 winners, Kolkata Knight Riders, saw the highest growth, with a 19.30% rise from 2023,” the release stated. Five-time champions Mumbai Indians are not even in the top three, when it comes to brand value, the report added. “Ranked second in brand and business value, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) boasts a staggering brand worth of US$227.0 million. Winners of the TATA IPL 2024, the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) has replaced Mumbai Indians to secure the third place in brand value with US$216.0 million. “Mumbai Indians (MI), which is another immensely successful and popular team, closely trails in fourth place on the table with a brand value of US$204.0 million. With the return of its legacy player and new captain Hardik Pandya, MI has solidified its status as one of the most evolving franchisees in IPL history, paving a path to player trades,” the report said.

‘The problem with Virat Kohli is…’: How Sanjay Manjrekar wants star India batter to play in T20 World Cup | Cricket News

Danijones10 months ago04 mins

NEW DELHI: Former Indian cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar advised Virat Kohli to play a in slightly conservative approach on hard wickets in New York ahead of India’s ICC T20 World Cup match against the USA.At the Nassau County International Stadium on Wednesday, the third Group A match of the T20 World Cup between India and the USA will take place. India had won a low-scoring thriller over Pakistan by six runs in their previous encounter.T20 WORLD CUP: SCHEDULE | POINTS TABLEThe United States of America defeated Pakistan in the Super Over. With four points from two wins in two games, India lead the group. With the identical win-loss record, the USA is in second position, though their net run rate is inferior.With scores of just one and four runs against Ireland and Pakistan, Virat – the greatest run scorer in the history of the competition – hasn’t had the finest start to the competition. He was dismissed both times while playing aggressively.Virat enters the competition following an incredible Indian Premier League (2024) season for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), where he amassed 741 runs at 61.75 and a strike rate of 154.69 in 15 innings, including five hundreds and a century. Virat had the best strike rate of his IPL career and was quite effective against spinners, using a more aggressive strategy against them.Speaking to ESPNCricinfo, Manjrekar stated that although Virat has adjusted his style in response to criticism regarding his supposedly low strikeout rate, the “old Virat” would have performed better on New York’s hard pitches, where it has been difficult to score runs and batters have played cautiously.“The problem with Virat Kohli is that there has been a lot of talk about his strike rate over the last two years, and he completely changed that during this IPL season. His strike rate had reached 150, although others had almost 200, but that is a different topic. He probably must have come to the T20 World Cup with that same mindset, but given the pitches, the old Virat Kohli would have been much better,” said Manjrekar.“So, I feel someone should tell him to bring back that earlier version of himself and then change again when the pitches become flat,” he added.
