RCB Ends 17-Year Chepauk Drought with Commanding Win Over CSK

Rajat Patidar's fifty, Josh Hazlewood's bowling, and Tim David's late fireworks lead RCB to a historic 50-run victory as MS Dhoni achieves a personal milestone.

RCB defeated CSK by 50 runs at Chepauk, marking their first win at the venue since 2008 and handing CSK their biggest-ever home defeat.
Captain Rajat Patidar capitalized on dropped catches to score 51 off 32 balls, anchoring RCB's innings to a total of 196/7.
Josh Hazlewood's 3-21 dismantled CSK's top order early, restricting their chase and ensuring RCB's dominance.
MS Dhoni's unbeaten 30 not only showcased his resilience but also made him CSK's all-time leading IPL run-scorer, surpassing Suresh Raina.
RCB's strong team depth and balance, praised by AB de Villiers, have propelled them to the top of the IPL 2025 standings with two consecutive away wins.
