The much-awaited battle between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Chennai Super Kings will take place at M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru on 17 April at 7.30 PM in the IPL 2023.
It promises to be an excellent encounter between two top-quality sides in the IPL. Royal Challengers Bangalore is back on an impressive win against Delhi Capitals while Chennai Super Kings will look comeback after the loss against Rajasthan Royals.
Both teams have some top-quality batters that change the course of the game and put pressure on opponent bowlers.
Here we look at the 3 Players who will score the most runs between CSK and RCB.
- Virat Kohli
Virat Kohli will look to continue his superb form in this year’s IPL so far. He scored a well-compiled half-century against Delhi Capitals and showed intent right from the word. It was a disappointing end to his innings as he was caught with a full-toss delivery by Lalit Yadav.
Kohli has a great record against Chennai Super Kings and hopes to provide another great display of batting. He will look to make use of the first six overs making life tough for the Chennai Super Kings bowlers.
If Virat Kohli can bat with the same type of intent against Chennai Super Kings, he could again become the top run scorer in this match.
- Ruturaj Gaikwad
Ruturaj Gaikwad had a rare failure against Rajasthan Royals at home. He has been in sensational form this season so far Chennai Super Kings. CSK team management would be hoping that Gaikwad can provide a brilliant start along with Devon Conway and keep pressure on RCB’s new ball bowlers.
Gaikwad will look to put his disappointing innings behind him and hope to provide CSK a flying start on a great batting pitch at M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru.
It will be interesting to see if Gaikwad showcases his class against the decent bowling attack of RCB and help CSK to post a decent total or chase down the target.
- Faf du Plessis
Faf du Plessis has been impressive with Virat Kohli in the 4 matches so far. He looked impressive in the previous match against Delhi Capitals but was brilliantly caught by Aman Khan.
RCB captain put on 148 runs for the opening wicket with Virat Kohli in the first match against Mumbai Indians but did not contribute much against KKR. The former CSK player has scored so far 197 from 4 matches including 2 half-centuries in 4 innings.
The responsibility will be on Faf du Plessis to continue his brilliant form against CSK and provide flying starts along with Virat Kohli.
