RCB Vs CSK: Winning the match against Chennai would like to remain in the playoffs race

Pune: In the first match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 11, Chennai Super Kings will face Royal Challengers Bangalore. To stay in the play-off race, Bangalore will have to win this match at any given moment. At the same time, Chennai Super Kings wins this match and once again want to come first in the points table.

Chennai have defeated Kolkata Knight Riders in the last match and have been ousted from first place in the points table. Chennai has made a strong comeback this season and has performed well in every field of the game. But his bowling and fielding were both weak in the previous match. Captain Dhoni also accepted this. Dhoni would like the team not to make mistakes of the old match in this match and returning to the path of victory while improving.

Performance of batsmen for Chennai has been fantastic in the entire tournament. Du Plessis and Shane Watson have always given good start to the team. Suresh Raina also has the expectation of a major shift to everyone. Chennai batsman Raidu remains the highest run scorer in the tournament. In the lower order, Dwayne Bravo and Dhoni are still very successful.

Luigi Nagesi has been influenced by the previous two matches in the bowling. Youth K.M. Asif was successful in making an impression in the first match but lost in the second match. Dhoni can change this area. In place of Karan Sharma, leg-spinner Imran Tahir can get a chance in the team once more.

Talking about Bangalore, the team is playing on Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers. However, in the last match played against Mumbai Indians, its bowlers also did well, which were seen during the tournament at very short intervals.

To win the match, Kohli will hope to do well with his bowlers today. With this, Kohli will also like to get along with the other players in the batting. Yogwendra Chahal in bowling and the spin on Washington Precious is complete. Umesh Yadav will be looking to handle fast bowling for Bangalore.
