Royal Challengers Bangalore will face Chennai Super Kings in much-awaited clash to be played at M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru on 17 April at 7.30 PM in the IPL 2023.
It promises to be an exciting encounter as two Indian legends Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni will clash with each other. Both teams had a mixed tournament with 2 wins each. RCB defeated Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians while losing to KKR and LSG.
On other hand, CSK won against Lucknow Super Giants and Mumbai Indians while losing to Rajasthan Royals and Gujarat Titans. CSK has a upper hand in terms of head-to-head encounters with CSK winning 19 out of them, RCB 10 while one ended in no result.
Here we look at the 3 Records that can be broken between CSK and RCB
- MS Dhoni on course to becoming the highest run-getter against RCB
Chennai Super Kings captain and legend MS Dhoni would create history in the match against Royal Challengers Bangalore in his favorite hunting ground.
MS Dhoni has a great record against Royal Challengers Bangalore with 838 runs at an average of 39.9 with a strike rate of 140.84, the highest score being 84. Dhoni has hit 4 half-centuries to his name so far against RCB. He is just two runs away from surpassing David Warner’s record of 839 runs against Royal Challengers Bangalore.
The Indian legend would be hoping for another superb performance against RCB if he gets to bat. It will be interesting to see if MS Dhoni bats higher up the order to give more deliveries to the face.
- Virat Kohli to complete 1000 runs against CSK
Virat Kohli has been in sensational form so far this year for RCB. He is currently on 214 runs from 4 matches including 3 half-centuries at an average of 71.3.
Kohli has a great record against Chennai Super Kings in IPL history with 979 runs at an average of 39.16. He will open the innings along with Faf du Plessis and hope to provide an excellent start for RCB.
If Kohli scores 21 runs, Kohli would achieve the milestone of 1000 runs against Chennai Super Kings as the other batter includes Shikhar Dhawan with 1029 runs from 28 innings.
- Ajinkya Rahane could complete 6000 T20 fours
Ajinkya Rahane could achieve a superb milestone when he faces Royal Challengers Bangalore on Monday night. With 5732 runs from 219 T20 innings, Rahane has smashed 595 runs in the T20 format.
Rahane will play an important role in the batting order to put pressure on RCB bowlers if early wickets fall for CSK. He has smashed 440 boundaries out of 595 in IPL history.
CSK bought Ajinkya Rahane for a base price of Rs 50 Lakhs. He looked impressive against Mumbai Indians with a quickfire knock and helped CSK register a comfortable win.
