RCB Defeats CSK, Ends Losing Streak at Chepauk

Michael Vaughan criticized Chennai Super Kings (CSK) for their outdated batting strategy in the IPL 2025, as they struggled to chase down targets against aggressive teams like Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). In a historic match, RCB broke a 17-year losing streak at Chepauk, defeating CSK by 50 runs with standout performances from Josh Hazlewood and Rajat Patidar. MS Dhoni's late fireworks in the match made him CSK's all-time leading run-scorer, surpassing Suresh Raina. Despite Dhoni's efforts, CSK's middle-order weaknesses were highlighted, prompting criticism from former player Ambati Rayudu. Virat Kohli set a new record as the highest run-scorer against CSK in IPL history, surpassing Shikhar Dhawan. The victory marked a significant moment for RCB, who now lead the IPL 2025 standings, showcasing their balanced team and strong performances.
