IPL 2025 - Previews: Chennai Super Kings, Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Kolkata Knight Riders

In the last of the team preview episodes for IPL 2025 we will take a look at the Chennai Super Kings, the Royal Challengers Bengaluru, and the Kolkata Knight Riders

Chennai Super Kings continues to be the same old efficient squad to the point of being boring. They bat very deep and have a slew of two way players. The spin bowling attack is fearsome with two Chepauk specialists in Jadeja and Ashwin plus the precocious Noor Ahmed. The seam bowling group is workmanlike, but seems sufficient. The batting might just be a little thin. Should make it to the playoffs with this team if they can operate on potential

Royal Challengers Bengaluru had a very big unboxing event where they introduced their players and Mr.Nags was at his inimitable best. As usual the team looks pretty decent on paper, but once again they might just be a tad short on the bowling. And once again they will need Virat to have a monster season to take them ahead. Playoffs might just be out of reach. They do have a surprise packet in the form of Jacob Bethell who might be the game changer for them.

The Kolkata Knight Riders have done a pretty decent job with regards to retentions and the auctions. They could not keep Phil Salt, but managed to get Quinton De Kock as the replacement. They however did manage to retain their core. The only real question mark is the need to have Rahane because they needed an experienced captain. The balance of the team suggests that they should be a strong playoff contender. What also stands out is they have a backup for every position without really sacrificing much quality.

The first game will be played on Saturday between KKR and RCB. Looking at the two teams, the over arching belief is that KKR might be a little too strong for RCB in the opener especially at the Eden Gardens.
