AB de Villiers got a golden duck in Monday’s defeat for RCB. However, he is still averaging over 40 in the tournament and we are backing him to be RCB’s highest run scorer against CSK. Our recommendation for their top wicket taker in this game is Harshal Patel, the leading wicket taker in the tournament.
Ruturaj Gaikwad starred with the bat for CSK in their win over Mumbai Indians on Sunday. He is our tip for their highest run scorer against RCB. With the ball, Dwayne Bravo took 3-25 against Mumbai and he is a strong option for their top wicket taker in this match.
Dwayne Bravo had a very impressive CPL tournament and he already looks to be in great form in the IPL. He hit 23 from 8 balls before taking 3 wickets on Sunday and is well worth backing for the Player of The Match Award in this game.

Read on for team previews, betting tips, latest odds, and match prediction for Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Chennai Super Kings, IPL 2021.
A 9 wicket defeat against Kolkata Knight Riders was certainly not in the script for RCB and they will be looking to bounce back from the crushing loss in this match. We expect Virat Kohli’s side to keep the same XI, meaning another opportunity for Wanindu Hasaranga who made a golden duck and picked up no wickets against KKR.
RCB Key Players
Virat Kohli- the captain made only 5 runs from 4 balls on Monday. After announcing his intention to stand down from the captaincy at the end of the tournament he will be motivated to make a significant contribution.
Glenn Maxwell- the Australian all-rounder made only 10 against KKR but remains the top run scorer for RCB in the tournament so far.
Harshal Patel- the pace bowler went wicketless against KKR but he will be looking to add to his 17 dismissals in the 2021 IPL in this game.
RCB Team Form
RCB have now lost three of their last four games in the 2021 IPL. They need to regain their form fast to prevent slipping down the table.
RCB Predicted Playing 11
AB de Villiers, Virat Kohli (c), Devdutt Padikkal, Glenn Maxwell, Srikar Bharat (wk), Sachin Baby, Wanindu Hasaranga, Kyle Jamieson, Harshal Patel, Mohammed Siraj, Yuzvendra Chahal
RCB vs CSK Dream11 Team Prediction, Captain, Vice Captain
Wicket-keeper
AB de Villiers will be our wicket-keeper. The South African only faced one ball on Monday but we expect him to flourish in Sharjah.
Batsmen
Virat Kohli (10), Glenn Maxwell (9.5), Faf du Plessis (9.5), Sachin Baby (8) and Ruturaj Gaikwad (8.5) are our batsmen. Gaikwad has already shown the UAE what he can do with the bat.
All-rounders
Moeen Ali (9.5) and Dwayne Bravo (9) will be our all-rounders. Bravo was in scintillating form with bat and ball in Sunday’s game.
Bowlers
Harshal Patel (9), Yuzvendra Chahal (8.5) and Mohammad Siraj (8.5) will be our bowlers. Patel will be targeting the 20 wicket mark in the tournament.

AB de Villiers will be captain, Dwayne Bravo his deputy
Bowler:Harshal Patel, Yuzvendra Chahal, Mohammad Siraj
CSK Team News & Playing 11
CSK Team News
The 20-run win over Mumbai Indians sent a message to the other IPL sides that CSK are going to be just as strong in the UAE as they were in India during April and May. In spite of the win, there were plenty of batting failures and that will be a major focus area for MS Dhoni’s team in this game.
CSK Key Players
Ruturaj Gaikwad- the batsman’s 88* against Mumbai Indians was a match winning contribution with so many of the other batters not reaching double figures.
Faf du Plessis- the captain made a 3-ball duck on Sunday but has 320 runs in the bank, including 4 half-centuries, from the earlier games in the competition
Dwayne Bravo- the West Indies all-rounder missed a few games through injury towards the end of the CPL but returned for the final. He was back bowling and picked up 3 wickets on Sunday.
CSK Team Form
CSK lost their final game in India earlier in the tournament so will be pleased to have returned to winning ways immediately in the UAE for the remaining season of IPL 2021
Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers and Glenn Maxwell are our tips for the top batsmen for Royal Challengers Bangalore. All three had poor games on Monday and will be keen to contribute.
For Chennai Super Kings, we recommend Faf du Plessis, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Moeen Ali. Gaikwad was the difference between victory and defeat on Sunday.
We recommend Harshal Patel, Wanindu Hasaranga and Yuzvendra Chahal with the ball for Royal Challengers Bangalore. The team only took 1 wicket on Monday and they will be keen to show that was just a blip.
Chennai Super Kings’s top bowlers will be Deepak Chahar, Josh Hazlewood and Dwayne Bravo. CSK have a very strong bowling attack.
This should be an excellent clash bringing together two of the heavyweight sides in this year’s tournament. CSK did enough to win on Sunday with RCB very poor with the bat on Monday. Our prediction is for CSK to get back to back win, but it will be a tight contest.
