CSK vs RCB Toss Update: Royal Challengers Bangalore Win Toss, Opt To Bat First Against Chennai Super Kings At Dubai. Chris Morris makes his debut for RCB, Gurkeerat Singh Mann comes in too.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings (CSK), who failed to perform well consistently, will face Virat Kohli's Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the Indian Premier League (IPL 2020) evening match on Saturday. All eyes will be on the performance of the batsmen of both teams.
In their last game, Chennai Super Kings had to face defeat by ten runs as they came close to victory but Jadhav's defensive batting came under severe criticism. Chennai's middle order remains a concern despite Shane Watson's return to form and Faf du Plessis consistent performances.
The Chennai bowlers performed better in the previous match against KKR. All-rounder Dwayne Bravo also took wickets. Karn Sharma, who replaced Piyush Chawla, also took wickets while bowling economically. The pace bowling will depend on Deepak Chahar, Sam Curran and Shardul Thakur.
On the other hand, RCB have a captain and batsman like Kohli who was in good form in his last game against Rajasthan Royals. Youngster Devdutt Padikkal and veteran batsman AB de Villiers have also performed well.
In bowling, nobody was impressive except for leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal and Washington Sundar. Umesh Yadav, Mohammad Siraj and Navdeep Saini proved to be expensive. The arrival of Sri Lanka's Isuru Udana will add some strength to the bowling department.
