At home, CSK are untouchable, given their composition of the side, which is loaded with spinners, solid batters, and gun-pacers. IPL 2025 Recruits Noor Ahmed and Khaleel Ahmed starred for CSK in their opening match, with the latter surprising all with his show on spin-friendly conditions. The batting relies on Ruturaj and Rachin Ravinda, with others still finding their feet in the competition. The middle-order is a major concern, given the lack of firepower CSK possesses.

On the other hand, RCB played flawless cricket in their tournament opener, where their batters blew past KKR. New captain Rajat showcased great acumen as a leader, making match-changing decisions during the match. The likes of Phil Salt, Virat Kohli, and Patidar will look to steer the batting, with other pinch-hitters coming in. Josh Hazlewood will spearhead RCB's attack against his former franchise, with the likes of Yash Dayal, Rasikh Salam, and Krunal Pandya supporting.
