IPL 2025 CSK vs RCB Today’s Match Predictions – Match 8

Most Runs

Star Chennai Super Kings opener and all-rounder Rachin Ravindra has been in sensational batting form since the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. He also played a match-winning knock in the last game against Mumbai Indians, scoring an unbeaten 65 runs off just 45 balls, with two fours and four sixes. He is also expected to end up as the most run-getter in the upcoming CSK vs RCB clash.

Most Wickets

CSK’s in-form spinner Noor Ahmed could be a lethal one to face for the RCB batters at the spin-friendly track of the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Noor also scalped 4 wickets at just 18 runs in his four overs, with an outstanding economy rate of 4.50. He can also be the most wicket-taker in this game against RCB.

Player of the Match

Former Royal Challengers Bengaluru skipper and batting stalwart Virat Kohli played a decisive and match-winning unbeaten knock of 59 runs off just 36 balls, with 4 fours and three sixes in the previous game against the holders KKR. He can also play a big knock in the game against CSK, owing to his experience of playing at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. The batting maestro might also win the ‘Player of the Match' award for his amazing performance.

CSK vs RCB Match Winner Prediction

Both teams are coming off a win in their respective campaign openers. But there is also a visible difference in the wins of RCB and CSK in their first matches against KKR and MI. RCB had a convincing 7-wicket victory in just 16.3 overs, while CSK struggled to chase down the total as they had lost their 6 wickets in the run-chase. So, RCB’s form might help them to register their second consecutive success with a win against CSK in this game.
