Background

IPL 2021: Chennai Super Kings (CSK) vs Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) is a match that every cricket fan is eagerly waiting for. India's two iconic cricketers, Virat Kohli and Mahendra Singh Dhoni go up against each other. This year, both RCB and CSK have been on top of their game. RCB is on top of the league with four wins from four games while CSK is on number 2 spot with three wins from four games. 

CSK vs RCB is Match 19 of the IPL 2021 and it is being played at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. CSK won the toss and MSD decided to bat first. It is rather unusual that captains bat first at the Wankhede. But Mahi is known for his succesful unusual decisions, so we'll have to wait and see how it goes. Both Virat and RCB made two changes in their side. Bravo and Tahir come in for CSK in place of Ngidi and an injured Moeen Ali while, Christian and Saini come in for Shahbaz and Richardson.

Virat Kohli would be goin with the mindset of winning five out of five matches in IPL. It would be historic for RCB if they manage to win the fifth game on a trot. They have never on their first five opening games. While MS Dhoni and CSK would love to continue their winning momentum as well. Looks like a nice Sunday afternoon for us all.
