After securing our first win of the IPL 2025 season, we will look to continue the winning momentum against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in our first away fixture at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on Wednesday.

Our boys will head into the game brimming with confidence after we registered a comprehensive 36-run victory over the Mumbai Indians at our home.

Stylish southpaw Sai Sudharsan once again grabbed the limelight with a scintillating 63 off 41 balls, while our talismanic captain Shubman Gill (38) and our dynamic wicketkeeper-batter Jos Buttler (39) also made significant contributions to help us post 196/8 in our 20 overs.

We later rode on an excellent bowling performance to restrict MI to 160/6 in their allotted overs to open our account in IPL 2025.

Our speedster Prasidh Krishna was later adjudged the Player of the Match for his match-winning spell of 2/18 in his quota of four overs. Our bowling spearhead Mohammed Siraj also bagged two wickets in the game.

Apart from Prasidh and Siraj, Kagiso Rabada and Sai Kishore each chipped in with one scalp.
