The Indian Premier League is all set to have its eighteenth season, and fans are riding high on excitement. Even before the first ball is bowled, fierce rivalries have begun to take shape. Teams are all set to face challenges in the upcoming season.
In real life where red and yellow are known as a good combination, the picture is different in the IPL arena. The rivalry between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Chennai Super Kings is a popular one. Just as the excitement builds for the new season, a viral video featuring a former CSK star has added more fuel to the rivalry.
S Badrinath Reignites the CSK-RCB Rivalry
In the IPL arena, the CSK-RCB rivalry is a classic one. While fans cherish the Dhoni-Kohli camaraderie, the IPL paints a different picture. RCB’s spirited celebration after last year’s win over CSK still lingers in memory. Before the IPL 2025 starts, former CSK player S Badrinath reignites the rivalry again.
He posted a video on social media where he recreated a viral meme. In the clip, Badrinath, representing CSK, greeted all other IPL franchises with a handshake, a hug, or a namaskar.
The real twist came when it was RCB’s turn, Badrinath simply ignored them and instead greeted KKR with a ‘Namaskar.’ That bold move from the former CSK star instantly added fuel to the long-standing rivalry.
Fans Eagerly Await The Clash Of Titans
As the IPL 2025 is going on the big stage on March 22, Royal Challengers Bengaluru is set to clash with Kolkata Knight Riders in the tournament opener in Kolkata. This year, RCB is embarking on an exciting new journey under the leadership of Rajat Patidar, marking the beginning of a fresh era for the franchise.
But the fans are eagerly waiting to see another new chapter of the CSK-RCB rivalry. In the 8th match of the tournament, Chennai Super Kings will face Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on March 28. And the excitement doesn’t end there as these two giants will collide once again on May 3 at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium.
