The 52nd match of IPL 2025, RCB vs CSK, is scheduled to be played on Saturday evening in Bengaluru.

Fans will be treated with another action-packed game this weekend as they will witness the Southern Derby of the Indian Premier League (IPL) taking place. Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will host Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru on Saturday evening. RCB are in search of the playoffs berth, and a win in this game will take them one step close to the next round.

Unfortunately, CSK have been knocked out of the playoffs race in the second consecutive season. They have been struggling with with both bat and the ball, and not many players have stepped up for them. However, they can still play and win games for their loyal fanbase. These two teams have always produced great battles in the past.

We are up for another one on Saturday. During this game, fans can also do well on fantasy cricket platforms. There are good players on both sides. Especially, a good pick as captain can change the outcome.

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

Top three Dream11 captaincy picks for RCB vs CSK, Match 52, IPL 2025

1. Virat Kohli

Virat Kohli has always been a run machine in the IPL. This season is nothing new. He has scored 443 runs in 10 innings at an average and strike rate of 63.23 and 138.87 respectively. One more good innings can help him to earn the Orange Cap and also help RCB qualify for the playoffs.

He has been among the safest options you can have as Dream11 captain. Virat has so far earned 825 fantasy points, which is the most among the two teams, at an average of 82.5 per match. With this form, he is a good option to pick.

2. Ravindra Jadeja

As seen this season, M. Chinnaswamy Stadium has played slow, and there is enough for the bowlers. That is why Ravindra Jadeja can be a good pick. CSK have been using him up the order with the bat, and we all know what he can do on the field.

Then, his bowling can be crucial at this venue as RCB have a number of right-handers in their side. Jadeja has earned 639 fantasy points so far at an average of 63.9 per match.

3. Devdutt Padikkal

Devdutt Padikkal has been the underrated hero for RCB this season. He has played his knocks under the shadow of Virat and has gone unnoticed a few times. But the way he is batting, he is going after the bowlers from the word go.

His cameo against CSK in Chennai earlier this season helped RCB post a big total. The left-hander missed out on scoring big in the last game, but before that, he earned 84, 123, and 102 points in the last three innings he has batted. He won’t be picked as Dream11 captain by many, which is why he can make a difference in the fantasy cricket leagues.
