RCB vs CSK Preview: Chennai will have to overcome this weakness, no less challenges in front of Bangalore

Pune: Chennai Super Kings will have to improve their weak bowling and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB vs CSK) will have to improve their sluggish batting when the two legendary teams battling with poor form in the crucial match of IPL on Wednesday. Will be face to face. In cricket, the competition of two strong and in-form teams remains interesting, but when there are two such legends whose weak links are well known, then the competition will be more interesting.

So far, only six fifties have been made for RCB in ten matches, out of which two have been made by captain Faf du Plessis. This proves the level of his batting. At the same time, Chennai has played nine matches so far and the economy rate of none of its bowlers has been less than 7.50 per over. Mahesh Teekshana has conceded runs at an average of 7.54 while Dwayne Bravo and Mukesh Chaudhary average 8.73 and 9.82 respectively.

This match will be more exciting after Virat Kohli’s half-century in the last match. On the other hand, Mahendra Singh Dhoni has registered a victory after taking over the reins of Chennai, so it will also have to be seen whether he is able to maintain the winning streak. Dhoni was reinstated after the in-form Ravindra Jadeja stepped down as CSK defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad.

RCB have ten points from nine matches and are in fifth place, although they have lost three matches in a row. RCB made the season’s lowest score of 68 runs and could not chase down the easy target of 145 runs in another match. In the match against Gujarat Titans, Kohli scored 58 runs in 53 balls but his team could only manage 170 runs, which was a low score on a pitch favored by the batsmen.

Kohli has scored 186 and du Plessis has 278 runs in ten matches. However, both are not in their familiar form. Kohli took almost nine overs to score 58 runs, leaving his team to miss a big score. Dinesh Karthik (218 runs in ten matches) and Glenn Maxwell (157 runs in seven matches) will have to put in more effort. Now they face a weak bowling attack. Chennai’s Choudhary or Simarjeet Singh don’t have the experience, then the experienced Jadeja is going through a very bad phase.
