Bangalore vs Chennai on April 21

The Royal Challengers Bangalore emerged victorious in their erstwhile match against the Kolkata Knight Riders by 10 runs at the Eden Gardens. Virat Kohli’s fifth century in the IPL ensured that the Red Army still remains in the hunt for a berth in the playoffs. The victory would’ve come as a massive breather for them after Nitish Rana and Andre Russell threatened to pull the game off in the death. They would next be facing the Chennai Super Kings at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore in the second of tomorrow’s doubleheader. However, if records are to be considered, RCB lost seven games on the trot against CSK and had last tasted victory in 2014. The Super Kings, on the contrary, would want to bounce back after the defeat against the Sunrisers Hyderabad. A call on whether MS Dhoni will play this game or not would be taken in the morning. If he comes in, then Sam Billings will make way having got out for a duck. New Zealand pacer Scott Kuggelejin would come in for leg-spinner Karn Sharma. Shane Watson and Faf du Plessis will open the batting with Raina at three.

Best economical pick – While Virat Kohli played the role of the anchor in the last game, it was Moeen Ali who was the show stopper with the willow in hand. He hammered a quick 66 off just 28 balls with five fours and six maximums to his name to help RCB finish on a high.

Top captains & vice captains – Virat Kohli was the star performer for RCB in the last match. He notched up his fifth IPL ton, and his first in last three seasons. He perfectly played the role of the anchor to score a brilliant 100 off 58 balls that ended on the last ball of the innings. His stellar knock was embellished with 9 fours and 4 sixes. Imran Tahir has been in superb form in this IPL so far. With 15 wickets from nine games at an impressive average of 13, the 40-year old veteran spinner from South Africa has been pivotal in the successful journey of CSK this season.

Smart pick – AB de Villiers was in good form against Mumbai Indians. He scored 75 runs and the team expects a similar show from him against Chennai Super Kings. ABD was rested in the previous match for having a mild concussion after Jasprit Bumrah’s bouncer hit the right-hander’s helmet. But, now after a couple of days rest, he will fresh and will aim for big innings.

Cautious Pick – AB de Villiers, who missed the last match due to a concussion, is likely to replace Heinrich Klaasen in the playing eleven. So there is no need to pick Klassen in your Cricbattle fantasy team.

My XI – Virat Kohli (Captain), Imran Tahir (Vice-Captain), Moeen Ali, AB de Villiers, Faf du Plessis, Deepak Chahar, Dale Steyn, Parthiv Patel, Ambati Rayudu, Kedar Jadhav, Marcus Stoinis
