Probably the biggest game of the second week of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 is all set to take place at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Friday evening. This contest will see Chennai Super Kings (CSK) taking on Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB).

Both the sides are coming off victories in their first matches, and will look to win another and gain two more points in this game.

But the stakes will be high, and everyone will be looking forward to this clash. This game also gives fans a great chance to do well on fantasy cricket platforms, but with a good team. Especially, a good captain can help earn double fantasy points.

For that, we’ve suggested three players who could be great choice to be made captain of your Dream11 teams on various fantasy cricket platforms.

Top three Dream11 captaincy picks for CSK vs RCB, Match 8, IPL 2025

1. Virat Kohli

There are multiple reasons to pick Virat Kohli as Dream11 captain for the CSK vs RCB clash on Friday. Firstly, he is in good form and struck a match-winning fifty against KKR. Secondly, he is the leading run-scorer against CSK in the IPL among active players.

Thirdly, he is an opener and will get to play most balls if he stays for a while. Another reason is that he is a good player of spin, which will be required in Chennai. Hence, he is a safe pick as a captain.

2. Rachin Ravindra

Another player who can be a good pick as Dream11 team captain is Rachin Ravindra. He scored most runs for CSK in their first game, and has always done well on Indian pitches.

He is in red-hot form for last couple of years now. Along with that, he can also roll his arm over, which is where he can earn more points on fantasy cricket platforms. That’s why he can be another great option to pick as captain of your Dream11 teams.

3. Noor Ahmad

RCB have only a few batters who are good players of spin. That will give Noor Ahmad a big chance to replicate what he did against Mumbai Indians. Even Virat struggles against quality leg-spinners.

The pitch in Chennai is likely to be spin-friendly, which increases the chances of doing well for Noor. Hence, he can be a good captain pick for CSK vs RCB Dream11 teams.
