In what comes as one of the most enthralling games in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) side will take on Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. This high-profile, star-studded encounter will be played on Saturday, May 3rd, 2025 from 7:30 PM IST.

The home side, RCB are comfortably sitting in third position with seven wins in 10 matches, giving them 14 points and a healthy net run rate of +0.521. They are coming off three consecutive wins and are in a very dominant to qualify for the playoffs this time around, with four games remaining.

Conversely, CSK are already out of the competition with eight losses so far in 10 games and will be playing to save their pride this season, as they are currently at the bottom of the ladder. Therefore, before this high-profile clash, let's have a look at the list of records that could be broken in this encounter of the highest magnitude.

1. MS Dhoni needs 3 sixes to complete 350 sixes in T20s

One of the most prolific batters in IPL and T20 cricket, Mahendra Singh Dhoni is just three sixes away from completing a massive record of 350 sixes in overall T20 cricket. MS, who has featured in 401 matches so far in his T20 career, has struck 347 maximums, having done a tremendous job, especially in the death overs of the shorter format of the game.

2. MS Dhoni needs 4 stumping to complete 50 stumping in IPL

The veteran Indian wicket-keeper batter is also not far behind with some massive records on offer with wicket-keeping gloves on his hands. Dhoni, who's 43 years old, has affected a total of 46 stumpings so far in his 18-year-long IPL career since its inception in 2008. 

MS, who has played for two franchises so far, CSK and Rising Pune Supergiants, has done 39 and 7 stumpings, respectively, which takes his total tally to 46 stumpings; hence, he's just four stumpings away from the IPL record of 50 stumpings in IPL history.

3. Ravindra Jadeja needs 1 wicket to complete 150 wickets for CSK in T20s

One of CSK's veteran all-rounders, left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja, is just one wicket away from gathering a massive record of 150 wickets in the yellow jersey for Super Kings. 

Jadeja, who has played for CSK in 196 matches overall, including both IPL and (now defunct) Champions League T20, has dismissed 149 batters so far, and is just one wicket away from achieving the massive record. In those games, he has averaged 28.97, while the economy of 7.74 is decent.

4. Sam Curran needs 8 runs to complete 1000 runs in IPL

Another of CSK's all-rounder, Sam Curran, who has played for both CSK and Punjab Kings in the IPL. He is currently having 992 runs under his belt in his overall IPL career of 63 matches, which keeps him just eight runs away from achieving a total of 1000 runs in the cash-rich league. 

The left-handed English all-rounder has struck runs at a strike rate of 136.63 while he averages 25.43 in his overall IPL career so far.

5. Virat Kohli needs 1 six to complete 300 sixes in T20s for RCB

Former RCB skipper and stalwart Virat Kohli has smacked a total of 299 sixes so far in his overall T20 career for the Bangalore-based side in both IPL and CLT20 matches as he needs just one maximum to complete a record of 300 sixes in T20 cricket for RCB, where he has played in a total of 277 games so far. 

The right-handed batter has struck a significant 8,871 runs in his career and is all set to achieve more glory in this upcoming high-profile clash.

6. Phil Salt needs 3 sixes to complete 50 sixes in IPL

Kohli's opening partner, Phil Salt is becoming one of the finest players in the IPL with limited experience so far. 

The English opener, who has played in just 30 games has struck 47 sixes in the IPL after playing for RCB, KKR, and DC. Considering that, he has struck 47 maximums and is just three sixes away from the record of achieving 50 maximums after his name in the IPL, as this reflects his ability to be an aggressor in the powerplay.

7. Krunal Pandya needs 2 catches to complete 50 catches in IPL

Turning to one of RCB's most trusted all-rounders, Krunal Pandya is just two catches away from completing a total of 50 catches in IPL history after reaching there in a total of 137 games so far for RCB, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and his initial franchise Mumbai Indians (MI). 

With a total of 48 catches, Krunal has displayed his ability to have a safe pair of hands on the field alongside being a handy all-rounder in both departments with bat and ball.
