CSK’s winning run has been built around cameo contributions from their suite of all-rounders and significant runs at the top of the order from Faf du Plessis. The South African and Moeen Ali have both hit over 100 runs in the tournament so far. With the ball, Deepak Chahar has taken 8 wickets in 4 games although the dismissals all came in the matches against KKR and Punjab Kings.
RCB have four batsmen who have already posted 100 runs: Glenn Maxwell (176), Virat Kohli (143), Devdutt Padikkal (137) and AB de Villiers (125). Padikkal hitting 101* from 52 balls against Rajasthan with his fellow opener Kohli making 72* from 47 balls. With the ball, Harshik Patel is the leading wicket taker in the competition with 12 wickets and has been well supported by Kyle Jamieson (6) and Mohammed Siraj (5).
Chennai are yet to call upon the services of overseas players Jason Behrendorff, Imran Tahir or Mitchell Santner. For RCB, they haven’t used Adam Zampa, Daniel Sams or Finn Allen.

CSK Team News & Playing 11
CSK Team News
MS Dhoni’s side are in fine form and will relish this clash against the table toppers. Lungi Ngidi made an instant impression with 3-28 in his first game of the tournament but Dwayne Bravo will not want to be and doesn’t deserve to be out of the side for long!
CSK Key Players
Faf du Plessis - the opening batsman has really found his form over the recent games. He is averaging 82 at a strike-rate of 145.13
Moeen Ali - England’s batting all-rounder is enjoying his cricket for Chennai. Batting at number 3 with a licence to express himself and chipping in with wickets along the way.
Deepak Chahar - when it’s his day it really is his day. If he can continue to take a four wicket haul in every other game then he and CSK will have a very strong tournament.
CSK Team Form
Three wins in a row in 2021 after ending the 2020 IPL with three successive wins. They are certainly playing a high standard of cricket with the defeat against Delhi Capitals their only setback.
CSK Predicted Playing 11
Ruturaj Gaikwad, Faf du Plessis, Moeen Ali, Suresh Raina, Ambati Rayudu, Ravidra Jadeja, MS Dhoni (c) (wk), Sam Curran, Shardul Thakur, Lungi Ngidi, Deepak Chahar
CSK vs RCB Dream11 Team Prediction, Captain, Vice Captain
Wicket-keeper
AB de Villers (10) will be our wicket-keeper. Explosive with the bat but wasn’t even required to come to the crease against Rajasthan, he will want to go big in this game.
Batsmen
Virat Kohli (10.5), Faf du Plessis (10) and Ruturaj Gaikwad (8) are our batsmen. Kohli and du Plessis were particularly impressive in their previous games.
All-rounders
Glenn Maxwell (9.5), Moeen Ali (9.5) and Washington Sundar (8) will be our all-rounders. Maxwell has been brilliant with the bat and Moeen has delivered in both disciplines.
Bowlers
Deepak Chahar (8.5), Harshal Patel (9), Kyle Jamieson (8.5) and Lungi Ngidi (8.5) make up our bowling attack. Irrespective of the quality of batsmen, these four will cause problems.
Captain/Vice-captain
Harshal Patel will be captain, Moeen Ali his deputy
CSK vs RCB Dream11 Team Prediction
Batsmen:Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis, Ruturaj Gaikwad
All Rounder:Glenn Maxwell, Moeen Ali(vc), Washington Sundar
RCB have a settled side performing at a very high level in IPL 2021 and Virat Kohli will be demanding more of the same from his team in this game. They made one change in their last game but should keep the same XI against CSK.
RCB Key Players
Virat Kohli - leading from the front with the bat and marshalling his troops in the field. He hit his first half-century of this season’s competition against Rajasthan Royals and the rest of the tournament have been warned.
Glenn Maxwell - the Australian was able to put his feet up in the big win against Rajasthan but he will be keen to add to his 176 runs at an average of 58.66 so far.
Harshal Patel - the tournament’s leading wicket-taker is only six wickets away from beating his 17 from 2015 and recording his best IPL haul.
RCB Team Form
A 100% record from their first four games has them rightly at the top of the table. But you feel there is another level they can take their game to!
RCB Predicted Playing 11
Virat Kohli (c) , Devdutt Padikkal, Shahbaz Ahmed, Glenn Maxwell, AB de Villiers (wk), Washington Sundar, Kyle Jamieson, Kane Richardson, Harshal Patel, Mohammed Siraj, Yuzvendra Chahal

Who will win CSK vs RCB IPL T20 Match?
Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohlil are expected to deliver big runs again
We are backing Faf du Plessis, Moeen Ali and Suresh Raina with the bat for CSK. du Plessis can bat with the freedom that comes from knowing that they bat all the way through the team.
For RCB we are backing Virat Kohli, Devdutt Padikkal and Glenn Maxwell. All three of them have been explosive with the bat in hand.
We are backing Deepak Chahar, Lungi Ngidi and Sam Curran to cause the most problems for the RCB batsmen. Ngidi impressed in his first outing in the last game.
For RCB we have gone with Harshal Patel, Yuzvendra Chahal and Mohammed Siraj. All three have bowled well but Patel really is the standout performer so far.
This clash will have cricketing neutrals getting excited all across the globe. MS Dhoni’s team of all-round brilliance against Virat Kohli’s destroyers. If RCB are not on top of their game then CSK will pounce, but we are backing RCB to be too strong and to make it five from five.
