Match Details
Match: Chennai Super Kings vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru
The Chennai Super Kings (CSK) vs Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) rivalry is one of the greatest rivalries in Indian Premier League history. It’s got everything—die-hard fans, superstars like MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli, and thrilling games that make you jump off your couch.
As of March 27, 2025, these teams have locked horns 33 times. Here are 10 jaw-dropping facts from the CSK vs RCB matches in IPL history that’ll surprise even the biggest fans.
1. CSK 21, RCB 11
CSK has beaten RCB 21 times out of 33 matches. RCB? Just 11 wins, with one game washed out. I mean, with RCB’s star power, you’d think it’d be closer, right? But, CSK’s got their number, and RCB will need at least a few years to catch up.

2. RCB Can’t Crack Chepauk
Picture this: RCB’s only win at CSK’s home ground, Chepauk, was back in 2008. Since then, CSK has won 8 of 9 games there. Sixteen years of misery for RCB fans in Chennai; it’s honestly unreal for a team like RCB.
Virat Kohli has smashed over 1,053 runs against CSK, more than anyone in the tournament. But here’s the kicker: RCB hardly wins when he’s on fire. Among those 1,053 runs, only 386 came in winning ways for RCB.

4. Dhoni’s Six-Hitting Rampage
Rewind to 2018 at Chinnaswamy Stadium. CSK needed 206, and it looked impossible until MS Dhoni walked in. He blasted 70 not out of 34 balls, with 7 massive sixes. That is still MS Dhoni's highest score against RCB in a winning cause.
In 2019, CSK bowled RCB out for a measly 70 at Chepauk. Spinners ran the show, and RCB’s big batsmen crumbled. Imran Tahir took 3 wickets for 9 runs, while Harbhajan Singh took 3 wickets for 20 runs.
Interestingly, CSK took 17.4 overs to chase down 71 runs.
Back in 2019, RCB set CSK 162 to chase at home. CSK needed 2 off the last ball, and Dhoni was batting. He couldn’t get it done, as RCB won by 1 run. That is still one of the greatest CSK vs RCB games in IPL.
7. Jadeja’s stats vs RCB
Ravindra Jadejahas taken 18 wickets against RCB, more than anyone in this rivalry. His 15 wickets in the winning cause for CSK against RCB is also the most. This means the left-arm spinner has been most influential in detecting results of CSK vs RCB games.

In the IPL 2024 opener, CSK made 173/6, and RCB chased 176/6—349 runs total. The crazy part? Not one player hit a fifty. It’s rare and wild. This shows how deep both teams go.
9. RCB’s Playoff Miracle
Last year, in IPL 2024, RCB had to beat CSK by 18 runs to make the playoffs. They smashed 218/5, held CSK to 191/7, and won by 27. The catch? It was only their second win in 10 games against CSK.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) conducts different cricket events and tournaments throughout the year. ICC tournaments are the biggest platforms in the game of cricket, where the top teams contest against each other for championship podiums.
Contributing to the team on a big stage like this will always be remembered for a long time. The ODI World Cup is conducted once every four years, whereas the Men's T20 World Cup is played every two years. The ICC Champions Trophy is where only the top 8 teams compete in each finals tournament.
Last but not least, the World Test Championship is played over two years. This article thoroughly talks about the men's cricketing teams that have won ICC trophies at some point in time. Let's take a look at the teams with the most ICC Trophies.
Australia's sheer dominance over other cricketing teams is nothing new. For decades, Australia has been executing out-of-ordinary performances and winning trophies for the country. Out of all the cricketing countries, Australia has the most ICC trophies.
Till now the Aussies won 10 ICC trophies. Australia is the only team to win 6 ICC World Cups. The most successful team in the Cricket World Cup clinched the trophy in 1987, 1999, 2003, 2007, 2015, and 2023. Interestingly Australia made a record of being the only team to win the trophy in all the countries that hosted the World Cup.
Australia won the ICC Champions Trophy twice in 2006 and 2009 against West Indies and New Zealand respectively. Lastly, Australia lifted their first-ever ICC T20 World Cup trophy after defeating New Zealand in the 2021 T20 World Cup. They claimed the ICC World Test Championship after defeating India at the Oval by a huge margin of 209 runs.
India sits in the second position on this prestigious list of most ICC Trophies by any team. India won their first-ever ICC World Cup in 1983 under the captaincy of Kapil Dev. Later again 28 years, the men in blue won the World Cup for the second time under the captaincy of Mahendra Singh Dhoni in 2011.
The Indian men's cricket team also reached the semifinals four times in 1987, 1996, 2015, and 2019. Meantime, they lost in two finals in 2003 and 2023.
The men in blue won the Champions Trophy thrice. First, in 2002, both the finalists India and Sri Lanka were declared the co-champions of the 2002 Champions Trophy. In the 2013 edition, India defeated England by 5 runs and won the Champions Trophy for the second time in Birmingham. Their latest triumph came via Champions Trophy 2025, as they defeated New Zealand by four wickets in Dubai in the final.
Lastly, India won the inaugural edition of the ICC T20 World Cup in 2007 after defeating Pakistan in Wanderers Stadium, Johannesburg. In the 2024 T20 World Cup, India defeated South Africa by 7 runs to lift the trophy for the second time.
Next on this list is West Indies with a total of 5 ICC trophies. The first-ever ICC World Cup final was won by West Indies in 1975. West Indies once again continued their reign in the next edition of the World Cup as well, in 1979. The Caribbean team also won the Champions Trophy in 2004. Lastly, West Indies became the winner of the ICC T20 World Cup twice; once against Sri Lanka in 2012 and the other time against England in 2016.

Till 2010, the England team has not had any ICC Tournament. But, it was in 2010, when they won their first ICC T20 World Cup against arch-rival Australia. Craig Kieswetter guided them home in the final for their first-ever ICC Trophy. Post that, they have been a phenomenal white-ball team and won two ICC World Cups since then.
In 2019, they won their first ICC Men's ODI World Cup as Ben Stokes made all the difference in the final against England in a match where boundary count helped England to win the World Cup.
England's latest ICC Trophy triumph came under Jos Buttler as they became the first-ever team in Cricket history to hold the ODI and T20 World Cup at the same time. Jos Buttler and company won the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2022 as Sam Curran won the player of the tournament after taking 13 wickets with the ball. Curran also was the player of the match in the final as well.
Pakistan | 3
Pakistan sits in the fourth position on the list of most ICC Trophy wins by any team with 3 ICC trophies. The first-ever ICC trophy won by Pakistan was during the 1992 cricket World Cup. Pakistan defeated England in the final and won by 22 runs.
The next ICC trophy won by Pakistan was in the 2009 T20 World Cup where they beat Sri Lanka in the final and won the title by 8 wickets. The most recent and last ICC win of Pakistan is the 2017 Champions Trophy where they defeated India by 180 runs.
With 3 ICC trophies, Sri Lanka sits in 5th position on this list. Sri Lanka won their first-ever ICC World Cup in 1996 where they played against Australia in the final hosted in Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore. They went ahead to win their next ICC trophy in the 2002 Champions Trophy. The winner of the tournament is actually both India and Sri Lanka as both the finalist teams were declared as co-champions.
The last time Sri Lanka won an ICC Trophy was when they defeated India in the 2014 T20 World Cup hosted in Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium Dhaka.
The New Zealand cricket team has won a total of 2 ICC trophies since they started competing in tournaments conducted by ICC. The Kiwis won their first-ever ICC Trophy in the 2000 Champions Trophy. Nairobi hosted the final of New Zealand vs India where New Zealand won the match by 4 wickets.
The next ICC Trophy won by the Kiwis was the ICC World Test Championship. Once again, New Zealand played against India in the final of an ICC event and clinched the trophy in the inaugural edition of the World Test Championship final.
With a team of talented and world-renowned cricketers, South Africa won only one ICC trophy throughout its entire history. In the 1998 ICC Champions Trophy hosted in Bangladesh, South Africa beat West Indies in the final and won the title. Jacques Kallis was exceptional and contributed the most to the team reaching and winning the final and was awarded the player of the tournament. He hit a century and picked up a five-wicket haul as well.
