Chennai Super Kings will look to pick up the pace in the middle overs and hope their inspirational skipper MS Dhoni takes the field despite a knee niggle against fierce rivals Royal Challengers Bangalore in the eagerly awaited Southern derby in the IPL at Bengaluru on Monday.
It will be a special atmosphere at the Chinnaswamy Stadium when the two teams battle to gain momentum after an up-and-down campaign so far.
RCB, on the other hand, got a much needed win on Saturday afternoon and will be aiming to build on the performance against Delhi Capitals.
Virat Kohli’s form has been the biggest positive for them. Kohli collecting boundaries with his sumblime off side play is enough to create discomfort in the opposition camp and will be fired up for an encore against CSK.
Skipper Faf du Plessis too has led from the front while batting at the top alongside Kohli.
Like CSK, RCB’s middle-order is yet to unlock its potential. Glenn Maxwell has batted at an impressive strike rate but the likes of Shahbaz Ahmed and Mahipal Lomror can do better.
The IPL 2023 match, Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Chennai Super Kings, will start at 7.30 pm IST on Monday (April 17).
