Having said that a lot will depend on former RCB captain Virat Kohli and Phil Salt. The duo gave Royal Challengers Bengaluru an explosive start in the first game against KKR and will look to replicate the same against spin-heavy CSK.

It will be a test by spin for both CSK and RCB on a slow and sluggish surface at Chepauk with both teams comprising of some quality spin bowling option. Other than the bowlers the onus will be on Bengaluru's strong batting lineup,

Whereas RCB will look to make it two in two against the Chennai Super Kings and make a strong case of winning their maiden IPL trophy in 2025.
