RCB vs CSK, the 49th game of Tata IPL 2022, is scheduled to be played at MCA Stadium in Pune from 7:30 PM IST on 4th May 2022.
Team Updates:
Royal Challengers are going through a rough patch with 3 consecutive losses in the tournament, while CSK is only a single loss away from being thrown out of the race for the playoffs. Even then, CSK will be beaming with confidence with MS Dhoni back as skipper and a thumping victory over SRH in their previous outing.
RCB will hope for a quick and fiery inning from Virat Kohli since he has finally found his form in the previous game. Rajat Patidar has also made the most of his chance at the number three position. Faf du Plessis and Glenn Maxwell need to step up their batting if RCB wants to stop CSK’s momentum.
In contrast, everything worked out for CSK in the game against SRH. MS Dhoni will want the same performance from his troops against the Royal Challengers. Bowling and fielding are the two departments they can definitely improve if they apply themselves more seriously.
