Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are two of the most popular teams in the Indian Premier League (IPL). They are set to play against each other at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Monday, April 17, 2023. The match is expected to be a blockbuster clash, with the focus on Virat Kohli’s red-hot form with the bat and the fitness of CSK captain MS Dhoni.
RCB is coming into the game high on confidence, having beaten the Delhi Capitals (DC) by 23 runs in their previous match. Kohli’s imperious form bodes well for RCB as they are able to capitalize optimally on the favorable batting conditions in the given ground now. Faf du Plessis and Glenn Maxwell seem to be faring fairly well as well, and RCB has got a shot in their arm to address their death.
Historically, CSK has taken the cake more often than not against RCB, winning 19 of the 30 matches since 2008. However, the form of Kohli and du Plessis for Bangalore is enough reason to back in RCB for this one, while bowler Mohammed Siraj complements the batters perfectly.
The maximum temperature in Bengaluru on Monday is expected to touch 35 degrees Celsius, which will make the weather ‘very warm’. The match will begin at 7:30 PM IST on Monday, and the toss will take place at 7 PM IST. The match will be televised on the Star Sports Network in India, and it will be streamed live on the JioCinema app and website in India.
