CSK vs RR: Vaibhav Suryavanshi & MS Dhoni To Face Off In IPL 2025 Match In Battle Of Youngest vs Oldest

One of the much-awaited match-ups of IPL 2025 will be witnessed on May 20, Tuesday as the youngest and oldest player of the season will face off at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. Rajasthan Royals opener Vaibhav Suryavanshi, 14 and Chennai Super Kings' skipper MS Dhoni, 43, will be in action on Tuesday.

Suryavanshi, who was picked by the Royals for ₹1.1 crore, has taken the IPL by storm with his exploits at the top of the order. The highlight of the tournament is arguably his 35-ball century against the Gujarat Titans at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur, thereby becoming the youngest player to hit a hundred and half-century in IPL history. Meanwhile, Dhoni is a bona fide IPL legend and is the custodian of several records, including leading the Super Kings to five titles.

Chennai Super Kings had lost to the Rajasthan Royals earlier in the tournament

Meanwhile, the Super Kings had lost to the Royals earlier in the tournament in Guwahati. It was the first win of the campaign for the Royals but the inaugural IPL champions' campaign haven't been able to carry on with the same consistency, especially with Sanju Samson missing a handful of games due to the rib injury suffered during the fixture against the Delhi Capitals.

The Super Kings have endured a similar campaign, with MS Dhoni forcing to take over as captain after the elbow injury to Ruturaj Gaikwad. With two matches left for both sides, they will be looking to finish off on a high.
