🏏IPL 2025 - Match 8:CSK vs RCB at MCS Stadium, Chennai,7:30 PM IST🏏 - Page 6

One way good CSK is chasing.

Else Virat chases very well.

But batting first RCB will have less tension maybe.

CSK - Pathirana n place of Ellis.

Ruturaj Gaikwad: We are going to bowl first. I think it will play slightly better than the last game. So far there hasn't been any dew, we don't know when the dew will arrive and it is not in our control. There are areas; we were sitting behind in the field and would like to be more aggressive, batting wise we can be more clinical. We have just got one change - Pathirana comes back for Ellis.

Chennai Super Kings have won the toss and have opted to field

The bowling unit after 13 overs.. the way they came back was amazing to see, the intent shown by the batting side was good. It is one of the biggest games in the league because of the fans it makes it fun and exciting. One change - Bhuvi comes in for Rasikh.
