Rajat Patidar's leadership, Josh Hazlewood's bowling, and Tim David's late heroics propelled RCB to a 50-run victory, marking CSK's biggest-ever defeat at home.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru defeated Chennai Super Kings by 50 runs, achieving their first win at Chepauk since 2008 in IPL 2025.
Rajat Patidar scored a crucial 51 off 32 balls, capitalizing on dropped catches, while Tim David added a late cameo with three consecutive sixes.
Josh Hazlewood's early breakthroughs (3/21) dismantled CSK's top order, restricting their chase to 146/8 in 20 overs.
MS Dhoni became CSK's all-time leading IPL run-scorer with an unbeaten 30, surpassing Suresh Raina's record, despite CSK's record home defeat.
RCB's improved team balance and depth, highlighted by AB de Villiers, has contributed to their strong start with two consecutive away wins.
