This clash can be well described as the most glamorous one in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Virat Kohli’s Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) will take on Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at home on Wednesday, April 25.

Points-wise, the two teams’ ranks are opposite with CSK having 8 points in 5 games and RCB with just 4 points from the same number of matches. The Challengers will be under pressure to do good in this game as their fans will expect another fine victory following their much-awaited win over Delhi Daredevils the other night at the Chinnaswamy Stadium.

RCB have met CSK 19 times between 2008 and 2015 after which the latter were suspended for two editions. The two teams also met in the final of the 2011 tournament which Dhoni’s team had won handsomely. The two teams were once tied at 4 wins apiece but then CSK really sprinted away and now lead 12-6 with one game getting washed out in 2012.
