Coach speak

CSK head coach Stephen Fleming: “We need improvement in all areas. We’ve had some moments but they haven’t been complete. We don’t like to be desperate and getting anxious. But we need to get points soon. It’s not derogatory to anyone but we are missing Deepak Chahar and Adam Milne due to injuries and their experience would have been good. We are finding combination to pick wickets and it’s no secret that we rely on spin. (Auction strategy) We knew we weren’t going to be in Chennai. But it’s a group keeping in mind the three years. We’re working hard on learning about the players and how they do.”

RCB assistant coach Sridharan Sriram: “We have prepared well. The auction planning was done well and the roles were defined well. As a result, we had replacements for Maxwell, Hazlewood when they weren’t avaialble. We always had faith in what DK could do and were clear about his batting position. There were very less finishers in the auction and Dinesh’s experience is unmatched. The way he sets fields and angles and his contributions on the field are vital. Won’t take anything for granted. CSK are a brilliant side. We have had a better start and it’s about turning up on the day and starting strong.”

Something to pounder about

The #RCB vs #CSK game has attracted a lot of attention and seems to be a box office stuff. But mind you neither RCB has any Karnataka player, nor CSK has any TN player, in their eleven. Well, that’s franchise cricket for you #DoddaMathu #CricketTwitter #IPL2022

Pitch report

Graeme Swann with the pitch report and conditions: “Because it was played on last night and has had an extra day of sunshine, the pitch is very, very dry. Already a little bit dusty. This is going to spin. For the seam bowlers, there’s not a great deal on this pitch. Seamers – avoid digging in, it’s just not going to work for you. Batting first, if they can get 170-180, that’s very defendable. The ground staff are treating the outfield again, so dew won’t be as big a problem as it has been earlier on in the IPL.”

Pre-match talk

Stephen Fleming: “There can be small margins, it takes one or two good performances, you get a little bit of belief and a bit of evidence that you’re an okay side in the way you go. But at the moment, we look a long way away from that”

IPL 2022, CSK vs RCB Live Score, Updates and Live Streaming: Faf du Plessis calls it and calls it right. RCB have won the toss and they’ve decided to field against CSK. This is the 200th match for Chennai.

Preview: A winless Chennai Super Kings will take on high-flying Royal Challengers Bangalore on 12 April at the DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai. While  four-time Indian Premier League champions Chennai Super Kings are keen to bag their maiden victory of the season,  RCB will be looking to continue their winning streak with this game.

A loss for CSK can make their way to the playoffs next to impossible. For RCB, a win can be a  chance to secure the top spot on the points table.

RCB are looking confident this year under the leadership of Faf du Plessis. They lost their season opener against Punjab Kings, despite posting a total of 200 plus on board. However, their batters clicked well in the last three matches as well and took the side to victory. Opener Anuj Rawat registered his maiden fifty against Mumbai Indians in the last fixture. Dinesh Karthik and Shahbaz Ahmed have also shown some impressive performances with the bat.

On the other hand, defending champions CSK are lagging in every department. Their skipper, Ravindra Jadeja, has not been up to the mark so far. The side only managed to score 200 plus once but were crushed by debutants Lucknow Super Giants. The team’s batting unit was a failure in the other three matches and scored sub-par totals.

Chennai Super Kings are missing their reliable pacer Deepak Chahar and have not been able to find a replacement for him. CSK needs to fire as a unit if they hope to win against a powerful RCB.
