Royal Challengers Bangalore has been a chance to achieve the victory for the victory for the last 17 years. It is being talked about the match of Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore, who are going to fight at Chepock Stadium on Friday. RCB has so far defeated CSK at the first season of the 2008 IPL at the Chepock Stadium. In the current team, only Virat Kohli was part of that historic victory, and now he will try to defeat him for the second time in CSK stronghold.

Chepock is Chennai's stronghold

It is not so easy to fulfill this dream. The Chennai team is ready to win their home matches as usual, especially on a pitch where spinners help a lot. CSK has experienced bowlers like Ravindra Jadeja, as well as bringing back Ravichandran Ashwin in last year's auction. Afghanistan's left-arrow-anti-Nur Ahmed has also been included in the team, and the three recently performed brilliantly against Mumbai Indians. These spinners took 5 wickets for just 70 runs in 11 overs against Mumbai.

In this match too, the behavior of the pitch is expected to remain the same, and RCB batsmen, especially Kohli, will have to increase their level against the experienced bowlers of CSK. Here not only aggression will work, but the spinners will have to be defeated with understanding. Kohli has greatly improved his game against spin in the last few years, especially through sweep and slog sweep shots. They will have to adopt the same strategy in this match.

What will Bhuvneshwar Kumar play?

By the way, Kohli cannot beat CSK's bowling alone. He will have full support of batsmen like Phil Soult, Captain Rajat Patidar, Liam Livingston and Jitesh Sharma. Looking at the pitch, the RCB team management can also consider feeding Jacob Bethal instead of Tim David, as he also gives the option of left-arms spin. Also, the team will keep an eye on the fitness of the bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who took leave against KKR due to injury in the first match. If they fit, then Rasik can replace the salute.

How is Chennai's middle order?

At the same time, Chennai Super Kings would like to bring their middle-order back on track, as Shivam Dubey, Deepak Hooda and Sam Karan did not perform well in the last match against Mumbai. Rachin Ravindra and captain Ruturaj Gaikwad should get more support, as well as small innings can be expected from MS Dhoni once again. CSK will also look at the fitness of her fast bowler Mathisha Pathirana, who did not play the match against Mumbai. If he is fit, Nathan Alice may have to sit on the bench.
