Let us know that RCB, captained by Rajat Patidar, has appeared in tremendous form this season and after 7 wins in 10 matches, the points are third in the points table with 14 points. If the team wins today’s match, it will come on top and it will be almost decided to qualify for the playoffs.
On the other hand, Mahendra Singh Dhoni -led CSK is at 10th position with 4 points and is out of the playoff race. In today’s match, even though Chennai is not much to get much, it can spoil the RCB equation. This is the last time this season when MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli will be face to face, because now the league stage is at the last stop.
Let us know that both teams will be face to face for the second time this season. In the last match, RCB defeated CSK by 50 runs at his home ground.

Before the match starts, let’s take a look at the stadium’s pitch report, RCB vs CSK head-to-head figures and other required updates related to the match.
In the RCB vs CSK match, everyone’s eyes will be on Virat Kohli. Kohli’s bat is speaking fiercely this season. He has scored 443 runs in the tournament so far and is ranked 5th in the Orange Cap race. Apart from Kohli, Devdutt Padikkal is also doing good for RCB. Padikal has scored two half -centuries in the last two innings. RCB fans will also expect a big innings from captain Rajat Patidar.
Chennai’s batting has been very bad this season. In such a situation, Dhoni’s batsmen will have a tough test in front of bowlers like Hazlewood, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Krunal Pandya and Suyash Sharma today. There will be more expectations from Ayush Mhatre, Sam Karan, Dewald Bravis and Shivam Dubey. At the same time, everyone will expect Dhoni’s stormy batting in the last overs.
