IPL 2025: Can Shivam Dube Lead CSK To Another Victory Against RCB?

March 28, 2025: As Chennai Super Kings (CSK) prepare to face Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in an exciting Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 match, all eyes will be on Shivam Dube, the powerful all-rounder who has a remarkable record against the Red and Gold team. Dube’s hard-hitting sixes and finishing skills will be tested as he takes on the likes of Tim David, Romario Shepherd, and Liam Livingstone in what promises to be an electrifying contest.

RCB, aiming to secure their second-ever win at the iconic Chepauk Stadium, will face a daunting challenge, having only won once at the venue in 2008 during the inaugural edition of the IPL. Dube’s past performances against RCB suggest that he is one of the key players for CSK in this encounter.

The southpaw has been in sensational form against RCB, with five matches played between the two teams. In these games, Dube has accumulated 234 runs at an impressive average of 78.00, with a blistering strike rate of 158.11. His two half-centuries, including a best score of 95, highlight his ability to dominate RCB’s bowlers.

In his last outing at Chepauk against RCB, Dube contributed 34* off 28 balls in a run-chase of 174 runs, showcasing his finishing abilities. Although his most recent match against RCB, which led to CSK being knocked out of the IPL due to net run rate, saw a modest score of 7 from 15 balls, Dube will be eager to make a statement in this match.

At Chepauk, Dube has been nothing short of spectacular, amassing 410 runs in 17 matches, averaging 34.17 and maintaining a strike rate of over 164. His performances at the venue have included two half-centuries and a best score of 66. With a record like that, CSK fans will be hoping Dube can step up once again to lead the team to victory.

As the match approaches, all eyes will be on Dube to see if he can continue his dominance over RCB and help CSK claim another crucial win in the ongoing IPL season.
