Top Captaincy Picks for Chennai Super Kings vs Royal Challengers Bangalore Dream11 Prediction Today: IPL 2025, Match 8

The eighth match of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2025) will take place between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) on March 28, 2025, at 7:30 PM IST at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. RCB are coming to this game on the back of a win against Kolkata Knight Riders in the first match at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. CSK beat the Mumbai Indians in the opening match in Chennai.

Phil Salt and Virat Kohli were sensational with the bat during the opening game, and Krunal Pandya did the damage while bowling. On the other hand, Rachin Ravindra and Ruturaj Gaikwad performed with the bat against Mumbai Indians for CSK, and Noor Ahmad did the damage with the ball.

CSK vs RCB Captaincy Picks Today: IPL 2025

Here are the top captaincy picks for the CSK vs RCB today's match.

Phil Salt (RCB)

Phil Salt is currently one of the most dangerous T20 batters in the world. He took the attack to the opposition right from the power play and played one of the most important roles in guiding KKR to the title in IPL 2024.

He did the same thing in the first match for RCB as he destroyed KKR’s hopes right in the powerplay. The Englishman scored 56 runs off 31 balls, and with him opening the innings yet again, he is expected to perform in the same fashion against CSK.

Virat Kohli (RCB)

The Indian run machine has been the consistent figure and run scorer for Royal Challengers Bangalore over the years. In any important match, the team can easily depend on their former captain. With him already retired from T20I cricket, opening the innings with Phil Salt has definitely taken the pressure off Kohli.

Virat attacked right from the first ball in the match against KKR and scored 59 runs off 36 balls to stay unbeaten and guide RCB home in their opening match. With the consistency that he has shown over the years, we expect him to perform yet again against CSK.

Noor Ahmad (CSK)

A Chinaman is always a wicket-taker in T20 cricket with their variations in deliveries and batters always struggle to pick them. With the match happening at Chepauk, which is a haven for spinners due to the nature of the wicket and the length of the boundaries, they become even more dangerous prospects.

Ahmad picked up four wickets for 18 runs in his four-over spell against Mumbai Indians and destroyed their batting lineup. With the pitch behaving the same, expect him to shine against RCB yet again.

The CHE vs RCB game has always been a mouth-watering contest, given the number of star players that are on show. Right now, both teams are coming to this match on the back of a win, and hence, confidence will be sky-high.
