RCB has won all four of its matches thus far and currently sits atop the table. CSK, on the other hand, has bounced back from an opening loss to claim three consecutive victories to take over second place in the points table.
Mumbai: It would be nothing short of the Titans fight when on Sunday in the top-of-the-line IPL showdown, in Mumbai, the Virat Kohli’s Royal Challengers Bangalore will compete with Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s Chennai Super Kings with two points of momentum.
All four of the RCB matches have been won and are in the top rankings so far. CSK, on the other hand, hit back to claim three direct wins for a second place in the table of points after losing its opener.
RCB will be keen to continue its winning line, supported by a 10-handle hammering by Rajasthan Royals. However, the task is easier to say than to do because CSK has three excellent results.
Kohli and the famous Devdutt Padikkal played the other day bowling with Rajasthan Royals .
RCB has begun well, which has more frequently failed with high expectations. And Kohli will be aware that keeping intensity in a long league is important.
It seems to be the RCB batting that is highly dependent on Kohli, AB de Villiers, a South African maestro, and Glenn Maxwell. The good form of Padikkal predicts good for the team too.
The RCB batting unit will however be headed to Deepak Chahar, known for his early striking capability. The team has to bounce back if it loses wickets early in the innings. It remains to be seen
Mohammed Siraj’s work has been impressive to date with the RCB bowling. But they are faced with a tremendous CSK, which cannot be emphasised deeply enough and the importance of early wickets.
Ruturaj Gaikwad emerged from three failings and formed a strong initial partnership with Faf Du Plessis, which was a powerful blow against the Kolkata Knight Riders. A good start will help your cause and CSK has the firepower to strike late with Moeen Ali in No.3 and Suresh Raina.
Skipper Dhoni is still to hit the straps, but Coach Stephen Fleming is of the opinion that every outing would make him better. While Chahar was in the thick at the beginning, Ravindra Jadeja and Moeen Ali also hit crucial blows. Shardul Thakur has sometimes proved costly, but in the CSK bowl unit it is a vital cog.
Furthermore, mostly high scoring games have taken place in the Wankhede stadium.
