RCB vs CSK Match Preview

RCB is on a roll this season. They've performed admirably under the new captain, and their star batsman, Virat Kohli, has rediscovered his form this year. With Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Josh Hazlewood, and Krunal Pandya in the bowling attack, RCB has addressed all of their bowling issues from previous seasons. In contrast, CSK is having a forgettable season. MS Dhoni has not flourished or performed as expected in the finisher's role. The franchise also made poor decisions during the auction.
