It was a night of drama, domination, and a touch of nostalgia on a night that saw Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) end their 17-year wait for victory in Chennai as they defeated arch-rivals Chennai Super Kings (CSK) by 50 runs at the MA Chidambaram Stadium during IPL 2025.

Adding to the excitement was a surprise congratulatory tweet from former RCB owner Vijay Mallya, who turned to X (formerly Twitter) to praise the performance of the team. Congratulations to RCB on a comprehensive win against the Southern opposition, CSK, in their Chepauk stronghold after 18 years. A stellar all-around display with bat and ball. Play Bold lads," tweeted Mallya, who is currently based in the UK and under legal proceedings back in India on charges of financial crimes involving ₹9000 crores in defaults on loans.

RCB, who had just beaten Kolkata Knight Riders in the tournament opener, is now sitting pretty at the top of the IPL 2025 standings with two wins in two. Skipper Rajat Patidar led by example with a gritty half-century, laying the platform for a total of 196/7, which proved more than sufficient, courtesy of a sharp bowling performance that sent CSK packing for 146/8.

This game wasn't another victory it was the first time since 2008 that RCB had defeated CSK in Chennai. The magnitude of the moment was not lost on anyone, certainly not Virat Kohli, who is the sole remaining player from that triumphant 2008 team. His broad grin after the game spoke volumes Chepauk, at last, tamed.

With fans pouring into social media and even veteran faces such as Mallya making themselves heard on the net, RCB's initial momentum this season has renewed hope for the elusive IPL title.

The Indian Premier League (IPL) is famous for its intense competition, and the recent Chennai Super Kings (CSK)–Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) match turned out to be one of the dramatic moments people will remember. A video that showed Virat Kohli and Khaleel Ahmed having an intense discussion after the game went viral, and it immediately sparked a heated debate among fans.

Following the game full of action, the team players exchanged handshakes, but there was a heated confrontation between RCB's Virat Kohli and CSK's Khaleel Ahmed. The footage of the players also indicates that Kohli was very angry, and Khaleel also responded with the same intensity. The confrontation escalated for unknown reasons, which led them to be separated for things not to get worse.

What Led to the Argument?

Multiple versions made the rounds of what might have instigated the conflict between the two, those being the constant banter and scuffle on the field. Kohli, who is generally known to be aggressive on the field, has been involved in similar incidents before; hence, this is portrayed as only one more occasion in his passionate cricketing career. On the other hand, Khaleel may have triggered the fight by using certain words.

The video was shared far and wide, with different people dropping varied opinions. A section of the fans was on Kohli's side, stating that such anger was okay, whereas others were critical of both players, resulting in a scenario where there was a lot of trolling, posting of pictures, and giving several thoughts on the incident on Twitter and Instagram.

The authorities of IPL, who are always keeping a close watch on such incidents, are the ones who will decide whether any steps are to be taken to curb such unseemly on-field behavior. As of now, both Kohli and Khaleel are yet to communicate any official statements, and the fans are eagerly waiting for that and, at the same moment, to know whether the matter will continue to be a rivalry in the upcoming matches.

In the first time ever in the history of MA Chidambaram Stadium, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) finally conquered their 17 years drought against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at this venue. They succeeded in this pity championship, with demandavers enjoying 50 runs and recording their first victory in Chennai since 2008.

RCB's Innings:

After a cautious start, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) put up a competitive total of 196/7 in their 20 overs. Phil Salt scored 32 runs in just 16 balls at the beginning, and his explosive innings provided impetus to RCB's run rate. On the other hand, Rajat Patidar did a splendid job of stabilizing the innings with his patient 51 before falling to Shahrukh Khan. Tim David single-handedly took charge in the supplementary period with his swashbuckling innings that ended with a hat-trick of sixes, courtesy of Sam Curran, to post a challenging total of 197 in their 20 overs.

CSK's Response:

In their innings, Ruutu Raj Gaikwad got out early as Josh Hazlewood trapped him lbw and then trapped Rahul Tripathi in front, leaving CSK at 15/2. Rachin Ravindra gave it a good go with 40 runs on the scoreboard, but CSK was facing some problems at that point and could only manage 146 for the loss of 8 wickets in their 20 overs. Royal Challengers Bengaluru's Yash Dayal provided a couple of timely dismissals that further discounted CSK from the pursuit, and eventually, they ended at 146/8 in 20 overs.

Key Performances:

Rajat Patidar (RCB): The 51 blossomed as he revealed the real leader hidden behind all those shortcomings. 

Josh Hazlewood (RCB): 3 wickets for 21 runs, stifling CSK's top order.

Yash Dayal (RCB): Crucial double strike, dismantling CSK's middle order.

Rachin Ravindra (CSK): Struggled until he made a sweet 40-run score that gave the crowd something to cheer for.

With this victory, RCB conquered the points table by moving to the apex position in the IPL 2025 ladder; CSK, on the other hand, slipped down to the fifth position after a major defeat.

What the Players Said:

Rajat Patidar (RCB Captain & Player of the Match)

Rajat Patidar, who was in the center stage of the match due to his winning innings, first off has explained the significance of this win:

  • "If I talk about this match, it was a good total on this surface because the ball was stopping a bit, and it wasn’t easy for batters to hit fours and sixes."
  • "It's always great to play at Chepauk as the fans here are amazing, they are the ones who bring out the best in you and the team with their support."
  • "I feel it was important to get the 200 because we had aimed for it and that no one could chase such a complex score."

Ruturaj Gaikwad (CSK Captain)

Even after the defeat, Gaikwad was still unfazed and argued that they just did not judge the conditions the right way:

  • "I still feel 170 was a par score on this wicket. A bad day in the fielding cost us. When you are chasing 20 runs extra on a sticky wicket, you have to bat differently."
  • "lights predominantly began changing over the next phase of the game with it becoming a bit slower not to mention sticky. Also, there's nowhere around this, I don't know what happened during the game. That's just the nature of human psychology. Rahul, right, back to his shot which he believed. I back mine up too, sometimes it is good, sometimes it couldn't be."
  • "It is still a good thing that we were not defeated by a large amount, that is, we lost only 50 runs."

Historical Significance

  • This was RCB’s first victory at Chepauk since April 28, 2008.
  • Prior to this fixture, CSK had been absolutely dominant in this fixture at their home ground, with a record of 8 wins out of 10 games played at this venue.
  • RCB’s new captain, Rajat Patidar, has joined these captains' ranks by being only the second RCB skipper to lead them to a victory at Chepauk.

CSK will now look to bounce back in their next game, while RCB will aim to maintain momentum in their upcoming fixtures. This match not only breaks a long-standing jinx for RCB but also sets the tone for an exciting IPL 2025 season ahead!

In the eighth match of the IPL 2025, Chennai Super Kings legend MS Dhoni showcased his popular lightning stumping act to stun Royal Challengers Bengaluru opener Phil Salt, whose wicket was crucial for the hosts CSK.

After CSK captain Ruturaj Gaikwad chose to field first, RCB got a good start, as the openers Phil Salt and Virat Kohli set up a 45-run partnership for the first wicket in 5 overs. While Salt was really aggressive with the bat, MS Dhoni's familiar lightning stumping act ended the English batter's innings for 32 off 16 balls, where Salt hit five fours and one six.

MS Dhoni gave no chance to Phil Salt in lightning stumping

Noor Ahmad delivered that fifth over of the innings, where his first over of the match ended with a key wicket. While the delivery was angling away outside off, Salt missed his cover drive attempt. Wicketkeeper MS Dhoni collected the ball and sharply hit the stumps. Although the initial look was no big danger for Salt, the replay showed Salt's foot was in the air for a few seconds, and those were enough for Dhoni to work cleanly to bring the important wicket for his team. 

RCB won by 50 runs

RCB captain Rajat Patidar scored 51 off 32 balls with the help of four fours and three sixes. There was also a crucial cameo from Tim David with 22 not out in eight balls with one four and three sixes, as RCB scored 196/7 in 20 overs. In reply, CSK couldn't fight as the opener Rachin Ravindra (41), Ravindra Jadeja (25), and the no.9 batter MS Dhoni (30*) managed to reach the 20-run mark as CSK scored 146/8 (20 overs) and RCB won by 50 runs.

Chennai Super Kings have chosen to field first after winning the toss against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the southern derby fixture of Match 8 of Indian Premier League 2025 play at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Friday.

RCB dominated Kolkata Knight Riders in the season-opening match at Eden Gardens, while CSK had started their campaign by beating Mumbai Indians last Sunday.

Kohli’s sheer willpower in RCB’s match against CSK on March 28 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium is truly something spectacular. This was especially showcased during the face-off against CSK’s sling-action bowler Matheesha Pathirana, which gave rise to a rather classic moment of the match. 

Pathirana unleashed a fiery bouncer that Kohli attempted to pull but mistimed, resulting in the ball striking his helmet. That match was anticipated to be a rollercoaster for the spectators. The first aid was on the scene immediately after the effect, and the Chepauk town diaphorically stared in shock. As luck would have it, Kohli was examined and allowed to proceed.

What did he do first? Easily hit a six over mid-deep. Even after sitting out, seeing knee-deep made him eye the crowd instead and send a message. Then he easily followed that up with a flat four-face, pushing a pass strike towards Kubler.

Fans all over went wild, screaming over the electrifying climate over the atmosphere brought by the already known former RCB captain and his sheer commanding Kohli.

Pathirana, who has that trademark yorker delivery, felt the full force of Kohli's aggression a rare experience in this high-stakes rivalry.
