CSK vs RCB Head-to-Head Record in IPL History

The second-most successful side in the history of the Indian Premier League (IPL), Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) have played out some exciting and exhilarating matches over the past 15 editions of the league. The South-Indian derby is one of the most anticipated games amongst fans from both cities and around the world. Star-studded players from either side have also made the contests look more eye-catching since the inception of the tournament in 2008.

Speaking about a few interesting encounters between the two powerhouses with this one taking place in Bangalore in the year 2018. The 24^th match of the season saw skipper MS Dhoni go berserk and win the clash for his side. Chasing 206 and with CSK struggling at 74/4, Dhoni hammered 70* off just 34 with seven sixes to seal the deal. A year later at the same venue, the Yellow Army was chasing 162 and fall short by just one run. Dhoni yet again came up with fireworks as he slammed 84* off 48 but couldn’t get his side over the line in a thriller.

Notably, CSK won the elusive trophy four times in 2010, 2011, 2018, and 2021 all under the leadership of former Indian legend Mahendra Singh Dhoni. As mentioned above, they are the second-most successful franchise in the cash-rich league after Mumbai Indians (MI) who have claimed the title five times (2013, 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2020). On the other hand, RCB finished as runners-up on three occasions in 2009, 2011, and 2016 and is yet to end its trophy drought. In 2011, it was CSK who defeated them in the summit clash and lifted their second IPL trophy back then. Both sides will meet only once in the league phase of the sixteenth edition of the IPL.
