Here’s how the Toss played its part last year for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru at M Chinnaswamy Stadium
Despite their historic canter to the title in the 2025 season, RCB had a tricky run with the coin flips at home. In the five matches in Bengaluru, Rajat Patidar’s men lost the toss on all five occasions. However, they still managed to walk away with two wins in those games at the high-scoring venue while defending totals.
Tosses won at home: 0/5
Matches Won at home: 2/5; Bat 1st: 2/2
CSK were among the poorest travelling teams last season even as the coin flip favoured them in four of the eight matches. While they won two of the four games where they had away from home, CSK eventually finished at the bottom of the standings in the season.
Tosses won away from home: 4/8
Matches Won after Toss win away: 2/4; Batting 1st: 1/1; Batting 2nd: 1/3
