RCB vs CSK 2021: Match Preview
When you look at the stats above, most RCB vs CSK match predictions will lean in the favor of Chennai Super Kings. But regardless of those facts, the Royal Challengers Bangalore’s clashes with Chennai Super Kings have always been legendary and fan favourites.
Chennai Super Kings, led by captain MS Dhoni, will be going in strong especially having gained more experience from their last match against the Mumbai Indians. They are most likely to employ an additional paceman like Lungi Ngidi to use the Sharjah pitch in their favour. However, there won’t be many changes in the playing 11.
The Royal Challengers Bangalore’s captain Virat Kohli might opt for a defensive strategy for this game. As CSK is known to taunt and break down RCB’s middle order, they might take in an additional batman like Devdutt Padikkal or Dan Christian to withstand and score runs.
Just like IPL in 2018, our match prediction says that CSK will be the winner again.
