IPL 2021, MATCH 35: RCB VS CSK

PUBLISHED:

Guwahati: Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) would look to shrug off the crushing defeat in the previous outing and deliver an improved performance against three-time champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK). While Bangalore started their UAE leg of IPL 2021 with a defeat, MS Dhoni’s Chennai unit registered a comprehensive win against defending champions Mumbai Indians on Sunday.

Bangalore are currently third on the points table with five wins from eight games. Chennai are second with six victories and a win against Kohli’s men will take them back to the top of the table.

All eyes will be on RCB openers Devdutt Padikkal (217 runs) and skipper Virat Kohli to provide them with a solid start. AB de Villiers and Glenn Maxwell will also look to bolster RCB’s batting unit against a strong CSK attack. For Chennai, Ruturaj Gaikwad has done exceptionally well so far. His unbeaten knock of 88 off 58 balls steered CSK to an easy win against Mumbai.
