Royal Challengers Bengalur placed one leg in the playoffs of IPL 2025, but not before they added a top drama at the M Chinnaswamy stadium in the 2-nail victory over Chennai Super Kings 3. Mhatre from CSK, which had their answers ready – held the whole crowd Chinnaswamy on his feet and hands on their heads.
RCB led by Rajat Patidar, who has finished his first double CSK, moves to one of their most successful IPL campaigns in risky steps.
While CSK took the field purely for pride on Saturday, they did so with beliefs and full of faith in their young blood. Although the bets differed from their virtual knockout of the IPL 2024, the meeting ended in a similarly dramatic way-another final thriller Yash Dayal.
IPL 2025, RCB vs CSK: emphasizing
First firing, 97 RCB between Virat Kohli and Jacob Bethell lit up Chinnaswamy. Bethell, who hammered 55 out of 33, went after anything yellow with ruthless abandon. Kohli, who began carefully, moved Gears after Bethell’s release to send the Nobl 62 out of 33 and get back the orange cap.
However, the medium order of RCB was wrong and could not earn a fixed start. But just when the shifts seemed to fall apart from 157/5 in 17.4 overs after the release of Rajat Patidar, Romario Shepherd exploded. In a wild attack he struck 33 escapes from 19.
AYUSH MHATRE FUEL YOUR Fire in IPL 2025
While the cricket world is still heating in the 14-year-old record Tuna Vibhava Suryavanki against the Gujarat Titans, another feeling of adolescence-17-year-old Ayush Mhatre-Ziložil fireworks with stunning 94 out of 48 balls for CSK. In the season marked by a depressed launcher CSK and a lack of stability of anchoring before higher professionals, it was a young man who was brought in the middle of the season to replace the injured captain Ruturaj Gaikwad, who showed the greatest peace.
Mhatre announced at the beginning of the 214-running persecution and focused on the experienced Bhuvneshwar Kumar on 26 runs in 4. With Josh Hazlewood, he expelled his shoulder because of the niggle, the RCB attack looked fragile. Although Sheikh Rasheed and Sam Curran fell in rapid succession, Mhatre held firmly and sewed a vital 114-Run partnership with the dependence of Ravindra Jadeja-Jejich the third highest against the RCB.
Mhatre’s brilliance, even if it comes too late to save the CS campaign, will remain in the forgotten season with a lonely clear place. His performance only strengthens the CSK case to accept the generation shift and believe in young shoulders.
Clutch Dayal does it again in Chinnaswamy Deja Vu
Although Mhatre’s knocking kept CSK in hunting, the climax was terribly known. Mrs. Dhoni, who came out in the middle of loud health, Yash Dayal was returned again – as in 2024. This time it also proved to be a decisive moment.
In the tense final with the 15 necessary, Shivam Dube hit six of the ball without the ball and threatened to tilt the weight. But Dayal held his nerves, sealed the RCB agreement, and celebrated iconic fashion – printing around Chinnaswama at the moment of DJ Vu, which excited home fans.
Hazlewood’s absence reveals bowling vulnerability RCB
RCB can take the heart from their high -order fireworks, but their bowling performance has remained much desirable. When Rajat Patidar confirmed Hazlewood’s unavailability – whether because of injury or rest – fears of excessiveness to Pacer Aussie met.
The remaining attack lacked bite. BHUVNESHWAR KUMAR, Yash Dayal and Romario Shepherd couldn’t stop the flow while Spin duo Suyash Sharma and Krunal Pandya looked helpless against Mhatre and Jadejam. Suyash, introduced as an impact, escaped 43 runs in his without a goal. Romario admitted 18 in his only one. It was just Lungi Ngidi, who decided to release Mhatre earlier by dismissed and removed Dewald Brevis another ball – albeit under controversial circumstances.
CSK exceeded 200 before this season – wearing the king of Pandjab – and that was a golden chance for RCB to push the pile. But they lacked a clear bowling plan, they were left when Mhat and Jadeja played for big runs.
As IPL 2025’s business end is approaching, RCB must re -evaluate its bowling plan. If their wealth depends only on Hazlewood’s return, it can find itself back in the worst possible time.
