RCB vs CHE Dream11 Prediction 52nd Match of IPL 2025
RCB vs CHE Match Preview
Royal Challengers Bengaluru will face Chennai Super Kings in a crucial IPL 2025 Match 52, with both teams heading into the encounter under very different circumstances. So let’s look at the RCB vs CHE Dream11 Prediction 52nd Match of IPL 2025.
RCB has been in top form, winning 7 out of their 10 matches and sitting in second spot on the points table. In stark contrast, CSK has struggled this season with only 2 wins from 10 matches and has already been eliminated from the playoff race.
CSK’s campaign has been marred by inconsistent performances. While Shivam Dube and Rachin Ravindra have shown flashes of brilliance, the side has failed to click collectively. Their bowling, led by Khaleel Ahmed, will need to step up against RCB’s in-form batters.

M.Chinnaswamy Stadium Pitch Report
The pitch at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium is traditionally a batting paradise, with short boundaries and a flat surface aiding high scores. The average first innings total here is 167, but recent trends and firepower in both line-ups could push that figure closer to 200. However, spinners and slower bowlers may come into play as the pitch wears. With 109 of 196 matches won by chasing teams, captains may prefer to bowl first.

RCB vs CHE Weather Report
Weather-wise, rain could play spoilsport, with a 45% chance of showers during match hours. High humidity and overcast skies may favor swing bowlers early on. If rain interrupts play, a reduced-overs game could heighten the unpredictability and tilt strategies in favor of the chasing side.

RCB vs CHE Team update
Royal Challengers Bengaluru
RCB are unlikely to make changes to their winning combination. Virat Kohli is in sublime form with 443 runs at an average of 63.29. Devdutt Padikkal has quietly contributed 230 runs. On the bowling front, Josh Hazlewood, Krunal Pandya, and Bhuvneshwar Kumar have been consistently effective.
Chennai Super Kings
CSK, meanwhile, have struggled with both bat and ball. Shivam Dube and Dewald Brevis have been bright spots, while Sam Curran’s and Ravindra Jadeja’s middle-order runs have added some stability.
Bowling has been an issue, with Noor Ahmad being the standout performer with 15 wickets. Matheesha Pathirana have chipped in but leaked runs at crucial moments.
RCB vs CHE Fantasy Picks
Batters: Dewald Brevis, Virat Kohli, Rajat Patidar, Shivam Dube
Top Batter Pick: Shivam Dube
Despite CSK’s poor season, Shivam Dube has shown decent fight in the middle order. In 10 matches, he has scored 248 runs at an average of 31.00, with a strike rate of 132.62.
Top Wicketkeeper: MS Dhoni
All-rounders: Krunal Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja
Top All-rounder Pick: Ravindra Jadeja
Jadeja has not performed to his full potential this season, but he is a big match player. On top of that, the field at Chinnaswamy may favor Jadeja’s style of play, and he has good stats versus RCB.
Bowlers: Noor Ahmad, Josh Hazlewood, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Khaleel Ahmed
Top Bowler Pick: Josh Hazlewood
Josh Hazlewood has been a revelation in the RCB bowling attack this season. With 18 wickets in 10 matches, he boasts an excellent bowling average of 17.28. His best figures of 4/33 show his ability to break partnerships and contain runs during crucial phases.
RCB vs CHE Captain and Vice-Captain Choices
Captain: Virat Kohli
Kohli is an obvious choice for captaincy given his form, experience, and current purple patch. With 443 runs and six fifties in the season, he is anchoring RCB’s success and offers both safety and high ceiling in fantasy leagues.
Vice-Captain: Noor Ahmad
The Afghan spinner has been one of the few bright spots in CSK’s bowling unit. In 10 matches, Noor Ahmad has taken 15 wickets at an average of 19.20. Noor’s wicket-taking consistency and strike rate make him an excellent vice-captain pick.
Dewald Brevis and Ravindra Jadeja are also good choices for leadership roles in fantasy teams.
