There could be unreal craze for RCB vs CSK IPL 2025 match [Source: IPLT20.com]
The ICC Champions Trophy is officially over, and we are about to witness the biggest cricketing carnival, the Indian Premier League. Ten formidable teams are all set to battle it out in 78 matches, including the playoffs, for the coveted trophy.
Meanwhile, it has come to light that the tickets for the high-octane CSK vs MI clash is being black marketed. MI and CSK have been arch-rivals in the IPL, and their encounters have always thrilled cricket fans from across the world.
There are such three IPL 2025 encounters, whose tickets could be black marketed during the tournament due to several factors, as mentioned below.
1. RCB vs CSK - Match 52
- Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Chennai SuperKings have shared a fierce rivalry in the Indian Premier League. Although the SuperKings have been more successful with 22 wins, the Royal Challengers have given tough fight to them in home games of late.
- These franchises have two huge fanbases. Whenever CSK plays in Bengaluru, the anticipation of a cracking contest brings a large number of crowd into the stands.
- Also, considering that the last game between these two teams was the most watched IPL match of the season, fans from both sides would be keen to witness the rivalry live at M. Chinnaswamy stadium on May 3rd.
- So, given the significance and hype of RCB vs CSK face-off, the tickets for the 52nd IPL 2025 match could enter the black market.
2. KKR vs PBKS - Match 44
- Kolkata Knight Riders enjoyed a stellar success in the IPL 2024, emerging victorious by defeating Sunrisers Hyderabad in the final. However, the defending champions surprisingly doomed Shreyas Iyer, releasing him to the auction pool before last year's mega auction.
- After Punjab Kings purchased Shreyas Iyer and appointed him as their IPL 2025 captain, the experienced Indian batter opened up about KKR's negligence towards him. Iyer's statement has infuriated KKR's passionate fanbase, which is why he might not receive a hero's welcome when he will enter the Eden Gardens for the 44th match of the competition.
- The craze for this contest has already started building up, which might prompt the black market industry to operate in full efficiency when the tickets for this match go on sale.
3. MI vs CSK - Match 38
- As stated earlier, Mumbai Indians and Chennai SuperKings have been arch-rivals in the Indian Premier League.
- Irrespective of their strengths and weaknesses, the iconic MI vs CSK clash is equivalent to an India vs Pakistan affair in terms of craze and fan following.
- It's worth mentioning that MI will take on CSK in their first match on this 23rd. If somehow the Hardik Pandya-led side ends up losing this game, the hype for the 38th group-stage encounter will be no less than a cricketing festival.
- In such a scenario, it won't be surprising if the tickets for this match enters the black market, with their prices getting skyrocketed.
