Chennai Super Kings vs Royal Challengers Bangalore Dream11: This is the game that has everything in it. Feels almost complete. This is the matchup where the opponents have more strength than shortcomings. That’s why the fans can’t wait to see Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore having a go at Wankhede Stadium on April 25, Sunday afternoon (IST). It’s a kind of match that gives a feeling of finals, of high stakes and you can be sure both RCB and CSK will be playing this game as if the stakes are as high as the title itself. But one team will be gawking at the defeat at the end of the game, re-evaluating every decision, every phase and head-to-head battles that defined the match. Here we name three possible match-ups that could shape the outcome of the game.
1. Deepak Chahar vs Virat Kohli: What makes this particular matchup special is Deepak Chahar’s rupturing performances. The 28-year-old has taken 8 wickets in just four games in IPL 2021, but more interesting is the fact that all those wickets came in two games only; four wickets each in two outings. That’s why Virat Kohli will have to be on his toes to negotiate Chahar’s bursting spells.

3 Players Who May Change CSK vs RCB Game
2. Ravindra Jadeja vs Glenn Maxwell: Both are exceptional fielders but the game could be defined by how they fare against each other. As a bowler, Jadeja is crucial to Dhoni, especially in the middle-overs. The Indian international is likely to face Maxwell during that phase, making this head-to-head battle a catalytic matchup.
Ravindra Jadeja IPL Record: (As a bowler*) Matches: 188 Balls Bowled: 2797 Runs Given: 3566 Wickets: 116 Best Figures: 5/16 Average: 30.74 Economy: 7.64 Strike-Rate: 24.11
Potential Head To Head Battles In CSK vs RCB
Glenn Maxwell IPL Record: Matches: 86 Not Outs: 11 Runs: 1681 High Score: 95 Average: 23.67 100s: 00 50s: 08 4s: 135 6s: 99
3. Kyle Jamieson vs Suresh Raina: Kyle Jamieson seems to be playing with freedom and enjoying his IPL adventure despite a hefty amount hovering over his shoulders RCB paid in IPL 2021 auction. The young New Zealander is holding his own in IPL so far and that’s why Suresh Raina must negotiate him with some extra care. Kyle Jamieson In IPL 2021: Matches: 04 Balls Bowled: 14 Runs Given: 126 Wickets: 06 Best Figures: 3/41 Average: 21.00 Economy: 9.00
Suresh Raina IPL Record: Matches: 197 Not Outs: 28 Runs: 5448 High Score: 100* Average: 33.21 100s: 01 50s: 39 4s: 498 6s: 199
The game of superlatives and incredible talent. The form, the players and everything else, CSK vs RCB is the game that has everything to make this a classic encounter. But eventually, the game will be down to little plays. We think CSK have more depth on their roster and back a win for MS Dhoni’s team in our CSK vs RCB IPL 2021 match.
