CSK vs RCB: IPL Derby Set for Sunday at M Chinnaswamy

The match pits Chennai Super Kings, who are looking for their first win after two losses, against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, who are riding a 202‑run chase win to start their title defence. In 36 encounters, CSK have 22 wins, RCB 13, with one no‑result.

Clear skies and temperatures around 28°C are expected, and the M Chinnaswamy pitch offers short boundaries and a quick outfield, favouring batters. Both teams have named squads featuring Virat Kohli for RCB and Ruturaj Gaikwad for CSK, with MS Dhoni and Sanju Samson as captains.
