Predicting CSK’s playing XI for their clash against RCB

Top Order 

Rachin Ravindra, Rahul Tripathi and Ruturaj Gaikwad

Rachin Ravindra and Rahul Tripathi opened the innings for CSK in the last match and would continue to do so. Ruturaj Gaikwad played at a different position of number three. He will have a crucial role at this position and their best batter would want to deliver once again in the new role.

Middle Order 

MS Dhoni, Sam Curran, Ravindra Jadeja and Shivam Dube, 

Most of CSK’s middle order did not have the best time against the Mumbai Indians. Deepak Hooda, Shivam Dube, and Sam Curran will want to hope for a better performance with the bat. In addition, Curran and Ravindra Jadeja will also have to do well with the ball in hand. As for MS Dhoni, he will continue to play the perfect cameo role that excites every fan wearing the yellow jersey. 

 Bowlers  

Ravichandran Ashwin, Noor Ahmed and Matheesha Pathirana

The team management would hope that Matheesha Pathirana is available for selection in the matchup against RCB. He is a great wicket-taking option and can be a match winner for the team. Noor Ahmed was brilliant in the last game and he would want to continue to play the same role in the upcoming matches. 

Impact Player: Khallel Ahmed
