Chennai Super Kings will take on the Royal Challengers Bangalore in an exciting contest at the Dr DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai. The Ravindra Jadeja-led side is yet to register a win this season in the four games they have played and their campaign is likely to get only tougher from here on. They brought Maheesh Theekshana into the playing XI in the previous game but he did not have much impact. U19 sensation Rajvardhan Hangargekar is likely to get his chance in the upcoming fixture.

On the other hand, Royal Challengers Bangalore are on the right track with three wins in their last three games and have clicked in most of the departments. However, they will expect a lot more from their skipper Faf du Plessis at the top of the order. They have some of the best finishers available in the middle order. Josh Hazlewood might come into the playing XI if he is available, while Harshal Patel has left the bio-bubble due to personal reasons and he will have to undergo isolation when he returns.

Pitch Report
Chennai Super Kings played their previous game against SRH at the same ground and they would have assessed the conditions to some extent. However, the conditions do differ in day fixtures from night ones, and there is a possibility of the dew factor playing a role in this game. The last two games played at this ground saw scores being chased down easily and that could be the mantra for the captain that wins the toss.
