Venue | M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bangalore |
Virat Kohli vs MS Dhoni, the fans will get to witness an epic battle today at the Chinnaswami Stadium. Both RCB and CSK have had a decent start to the tournament, winning two and losing two. CSK won against Lucknow and Mumbai Indians while losing against Gujarat and Rajasthan Royals.
Meanwhile, RCB picked up wins over Delhi Capitals and Mumbai, while losing to Kolkata and Lucknow Super Giants. Both teams boast of a strong batting line-up and given how good the conditions are in Chinnaswami, the match is expected to be a high scoring one.
The wicket at the M Chinnaswami Stadium is one of the best to bat. Barring the first two overs with the new ball, there is not much help on offer for the bowlers. Also, the boundaries are very short so we can expect a run feast.
The weather will be clear with temperatures ranging between 36 and 20 degrees.
Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis (c), Mahipal Lomror, Glenn Maxwell, Shahbaz Ahmed, Dinesh Karthik (wk), Wanindu Hasaranga, Harshal Patel, Wayne Parnell, Mohammed Siraj, Vyshak Vijaykumar
Ruturaj Gaikwad, Devon Conway, Ajinkya Rahane, Moeen Ali, Ambati Rayudu/Akash Singh, Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, MS Dhoni (c&wk), Dwaine Pretorius/Matheesh Pathirana, Maheesh Theekshana, Tushar Deshpande
Sisanda Magala has been ruled out for a week so CSK will have to make one forced change. Matheesha Parithana or Dwayne Pretorius can replace him. RCB are unlikely to tinker with winning combination.
CSK enjoys a great record against RCB. The team has won 20 matches of the 31 games played against the Faf du Plessis-led side. However, RCB have a much better team this year and will be keen to pull one back against CSK at home.

Virat Kohli has been in magnificent form in IPL 2023. The batter has scored three fifties in four games and is RCB’s leading run scorer with 214 runs in 4 matches at an average of 71.
Gaikwad has been brilliant for CSK. Barring the last game against RR where he was out cheaply, Gaikwad has done well for CSK in every game and the team will be hoping for another good show by him. Gaikwad has scored 197 runs in 4 matches.
Faf has been a great player for RCB. He is one of the most consistent players for the team and has already scored a couple of half-centuries in the tournament. With CSK having a good spin attack, Faf will be key for the team.
Ravindra Jadeja is a valuable player for CSK. He is brilliant with the bat and lethal with the ball. Coming down the order, Jadeja along with MS Dhoni almost helped CSK chase 40 in the last two overs against RR.
Siraj is going through a purple patch for RCB. The pacer has been on a wicket-taking spree in the powerplay. The wickets with the new ball by Siraj have allowed RCB to take an early lead in the match.
