Bengaluru: The much-awaited contest is set to unfold as MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings will clash with Royal Challengers Bangalore on Monday at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium.
The rivalry between the two South Indian sides has produced many thrilling matches, has birthed many stars, and solidified the status of many greats as legends.
However, the anticipation of fans is set to reach at the top as the two greats of the game MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli will be seen together.
RCB will be looking to maintain their present form after registering a crucial win against Delhi Capitals in the last game. The biggest strength of RCB is the Virat Kohli-Faf Du Plessis duo.
Virat is the 5th highest run-scorer in the tournament, while Faf has bagged two half-centuries. Apart from these two, Glenn Maxwell can also give some feisty knocks.
RCB’s bowling attack remains intact. Vijaykumar Vyshak was the star for RCB on his IPL debut, taking 3/20 in his four overs. Mohammed Siraj also took 2/23 in his four overs. Wanindu Hasaranga, Harshal Patel and Wayne Parnell took a wicket each.
On the other hand, CSK also have two wins and two losses in the four matches they played so far in the tournament.
CSK has Ravindra Jadeja and Moeen Ali as experienced spin bowlers which can be key in the match against RCB considering Virat finds difficulty facing Jadeja’s bowling.
RCB and CSK have faced each other in 30 games where 10 were won by RCB and 19 were won by CSK.
