The defending champions are struggling in IPL 2022 till now. They had played four matches and had not yet opened the account on the scoreboard. They have lost all played matches and are lying at the bottom of the points table. They lost their most recent match against Sunrisers Hyderabad by a big margin of eight wickets. RCB had been good in IPL 2022 in the early matches. They had lost just one out of four matches. They have won three matches and are situated at the third spot on the points table. They had beaten the most successful team of IPL history, Mumbai Indians in their most recent match. Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) are traditional rivals and we will have a very interesting match.

CHENNAI SUPER KINGS REVIEWS

The change of the leader had not worked for CSK in IPL 2022. MS Dhoni was a sign of luck for Chennai but since Ravindra Jadeja had taken the charge, CSK had not registered any win in this edition of IPL. Chennai is an experienced team of IPL and is the second most successful team but they made major mistakes in IPL 2022 auctions and had failed to give the results. We think the batting order of CSK has failed in this tournament. They had not put any competitive total on the board in almost all previous matches. The most recent match against SRH is a witness of it where they managed to score just 154 runs. This is not a score that may be difficult for any team to chase on the pitches which are in favor of the batters. Uthappa, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Moeen Ali, Rayudu, Shivam Dube, and even Ravindra Jadeja had failed in batting in IPL 2022.

Moeen Ali proved the highest run-scorer with 48 runs to his name but he destroyed 35 balls for it. Ambati Rayudu scored 27 runs while Ravindra Jadeja had 23 runs to his name. The bowling department of CSK is also not performing as per the expectations of its fans. Mukesh Choudhary, Mahesh Theekshana, Chris Jordan, Ravindra Jadeja, Dwayne Bravo, and Moeen Ali are the leaders of the bowling department of CSK but had failed to play any role in the team winning the match. Mukesh Choudhary picked one wicket in his four overs against 30 runs. Dwayne Bravo also picked one wicket but he leaked a lot of runs. He was charged for 29 runs in just 2.4 overs. Moeen Ali, Mahesh Theekshana, Ravindra Jadeja, and Chris Jordan were the bowlers who could not pick any wicket.

ROYAL CHALLENGERS BANGALORE REVIEWS

We mentioned in the IPL prediction of the previous match of RCB that they are repeating the performance of IPL 2021 and they also proved it in the previous match against Mumbai Indians. The bowling department of Bangalore is on fire in IPL 2022. They had won three matches due to an outstanding performance by the bowlers. David Willey, Mohammad Siraj, Shahbaz Ahmed, Harshal Patel, Akash Deep, and W Hasaranga are the leaders of the bowling department of RCB. Harshal Patel proved the most successful bowler in the previous match with two wickets to his name in four overs against just 23 runs. W Hasaranga also picked two wickets while he was charged for 28 runs in four overs. Akash Deep picked one wicket.

Shahbaz Ahmed, Mohammad Siraj, and David Willey could not pick any wicket in the previous match against Mumbai. The batting order of RCB is very strong which is led by Faf du Plessis, Anuj Rawat, Virat Kohli, Glenn Maxwell, and Dinesh Karthik. Anuj Rawat is a young Indian talent and he is playing in IPL for the first time. He was outstanding with the bat in the previous match and scored 66 runs on 47 balls with the help of two boundaries and six huge sixes. Virat Kohli is also back to the good form since he has left the captaincy of RCB. He was the second-highest run-scorer in the previous match. He had 48 runs to his name. He faced 36 balls and smashed five boundaries during his inning.
