Fans are eagerly awaiting to witness the likes of MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli, R Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, and Bhuvneshwar Kumar in action during the eighth match of IPL 2025 on Friday. They expressed their anticipation through hilarious posts on X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram.
One of the memes read:
"Dhoni will hide behind Ashwin today."
"Can an extra spinner be played"- Aakash Chopra on RCB team combination for upcoming IPL 2025 clash vs CSK
Former cricketer Aakash Chopra recently previewed the IPL 2025 between CSK and RCB. He opined that the Royal Challengers should bring pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar into the playing XI, considering his vast experience in the league. Speaking about the same in a video on his YouTube channel 'Aakash Chopra,' the cricketer-turned-commentator said:
"The first question will be whether Bhuvneshwar Kumar will play. The question is whether he is fit or not. He was bowling in the nets in the last match. However, will you see him playing here because I feel he has a huge role to play? He is someone who gives you control. Bhuvneshwar being fit and playing is absolutely critical."
On the spin department of the Bengaluru team, Chopra continued:
"The second thing I am thinking is that if spin is dominant, Krunal Pandya picked up three wickets and Suyash Sharma took one but Suyash was very expensive, can either Mohit Rathee or Swapnil be played? Can they think about playing one of the two in place of Rasikh Salam Dar? Can an extra spinner be played because it's a spin-friendly ground?"
