CSK vs RCB, the 22nd match of Tata IPL 2022, is scheduled to be played at DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai from 7:30 PM IST on 12 April 2022.
Team Updates:
Chennai Super Kings have lost four consecutive matches on the trot and sit at the bottom of the points table. CSK is failing in all three departments at Tata IPL 2022 and lacks the collective effort displayed in previous seasons. Ruturaj Gaikwad at the top cannot get them quick starts, while Rayudu, Jadeja and Dhoni have failed to up the run rate in middle overs.
In the bowling department, they are heavily feeling the effects of Deepak Chahar’s absence. CSK does not have a strike bowler, which hampers their attempt to win the game’s crucial phases. They need to revamp themselves if they want to triumph in CSK vs RCB clash.
On the other hand, Royal Challengers Bangalore have won three out of their four matches. Their bowling has been phenomenal, with Harshal Patel and Wanindu Hasaranga winning them crucial moments in the game. Akashdeep Singh has been expensive, but he has also picked up the wickets at front for them. Only Mohammed Siraj has not found the perfect rhythm.
Dinesh Karthik and Shahbaz Ahmed have been good for them in the death overs in batting. Virat Kohli and Anuj Rawat have also found their mojo in the previous game. Their only worry is Faf du Plessis’s form with the bat.
