The IPL is back. Virat Kohli and Faf Du Plessis take on MS Dhoni in Chennai. Virat Kohli, after a good 2023, will be eager to get back on to the field. Faf Du Plessis, too has been pretty good in the last year around the World as RCB developed a pretty decent batting line-up. The bowling, too has been revamped, but concerns remain, particularly with the spin attack.
Chennai Super Kings has their share of concerns too. Matheesha Pathirana and Devon Conway are out, leaving CSK with some concerns at the top and with their death bowling. They are at home, but for a change, Chennai may not be a fortress due to their lack of Indian spinners.

CSK vs RCB Predicted Playing XII
RCB Playing XI
Faf Du Plessis, Virat Kohli, Cameron Green, Glenn Maxwell, Rajat Patidar, Dinesh Karthik, Tom Curran/ Alzarri Joseph, Karn Sharma, Mohammad Siraj, Akash Deep, Vijaykumar Vyshak. Impact Player: Mahipal Lomror

CSK vs RCB Key Players
Cameron Green
Cameron Green’s addition to RCB has loads of volume. His ability with both bat and ball allows RCB to spread out the use of Glenn Maxwell while also allowing for further bowling depth. While Green alone is a pretty dangerous player, the form of Maxwell and his deployment of the line-up becomes further dangerous thanks to the inclusion of Cameron Green.
Shardul Thakur
Shardul Thakur returns in yellow. His inclusion though includes a lot of concerns. Shardul Thakur’s economy rate, especially in the death where CSK have a huge hole due to Pathirana’s absence is a big focus point. His batting form has been pretty good, but his primary skill could well decide CSK’s fortunes in the tournament.
