The last time RCB faced CSK in Bengaluru was in IPL 2024 and they won by 27 runs in a thrilling game to enter the playoffs. The two sides had met earlier this season at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, where RCB won by 50 runs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI would say one team that, historically, I\u2019ve felt we\u2019ve had the most intense games with is Chennai Super Kings in Bengaluru. Because in Chennai, of course, there are Chennai fans - it\u2019s just yellow and CSK fans everywhere.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cBut to play against CSK in Bengaluru is something else, because a lot of Chennai fans come to Bengaluru. CSK fans travel in huge numbers, so they buy tickets very early and take over a section of the stadium.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cSo, there\u2019s an intense atmosphere inside the stadium in Bengaluru when playing against CSK. And then, obviously, the game also gets very intense and competitive. That environment is the most exciting I\u2019ve been a part of,\u201d said Kohli on JioHotstar.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Kohli, who has 443 runs in IPL 2025 so far, also reminisced about his excitement and surreal experiences while recalling being in the inaugural IPL season in 2008. \"The first year was exciting in terms of unexpected things happening. We hadn't played a lot of T20 cricket. Secondly, franchise cricket allowed us to play with different players from all over the world - players we looked up to.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cAnd when the auction happened, we were in Malaysia, in Kuala Lumpur, and we were sold as first-class cricketers, who were limited to Rs 20 lakh. We went crazy in the corridor - \u2018We got Rs 20 lakh!\u2019 That was the emotion behind it. Because we didn\u2019t know what to expect - the opening ceremony, the whole experience of meeting great cricketers - it was surreal.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
