Chennai Super Kings: Chennai Super Kings won the toss and elected to bowl first against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in Match 8 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 at the MA Chidambaram here on Friday.

Both teams made a change in their playing XI from the side that played their last match. CSK brought in Matheesha Pathirana in place of Nathan Ellis while RCB included the experienced Bhuvneshwar Kumar in place of Rasik Salam.

Ruturaj Gaikwad, CSK captain said they are looking to chase once again. "Wicket will play slightly better than last game, looking to chase whatever the score is. So far, there has been no dew but you never know when it'll arrive. It's uncontrollable but we have planned better for it. We were slightly behind in the field, need to improve there."
