Great news for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) fans! Swing specialist Bhuvneshwar Kumar is ready to return for the big match against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. The match will be played on Friday, March 28, at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar Back in Action

RCB received a big boost as their experienced pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar is all set to play after missing the opening game against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) due to a minor injury. He has now fully recovered and was seen bowling at full speed in practice.

Bhuvneshwar’s absence was felt, especially in the powerplay and death overs. But with his return, RCB’s bowling attack looks much stronger. His ability to swing the ball early on and bowl tight overs at the end makes him a key player for the team.

RCB mentor Dinesh Karthik confirmed that Bhuvneshwar is fully fit, saying, “As far as I know, there are no issues.” 

His return will give RCB more flexibility in their bowling lineup. The team already has Rashikh Salam and Yash Dayal for pace, while Suyash Sharma adds variety in spin.

RCB started their season with a bang, defeating KKR by seven wickets in the tournament opener on March 22 at Eden Gardens. Phil Salt and Virat Kohli played crucial roles in that win, helping the team chase down 175 runs with ease.

RCB vs CSK: Head-to-Head Record

When it comes to RCB vs CSK matches, history favors CSK. Out of 33 games played between these two teams, CSK has won 21, while RCB has managed 11 victories. One match ended without a result.

With Bhuvneshwar Kumar back in the squad, RCB will be hoping to turn the tables against CSK in this crucial encounter.
