IPL 2020: Chennai Super Kings (CSK) vs Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) Preview, Probable XI, Head-to-Head and Fantasy 11

Three-time Indian Premier League (IPL) champions Chennai Super Kings will square off against Virat Kohli’s Royal Challengers Bangalore in the second match played on October 10, 2020. Both the IPL giants will lock horns at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium, Sharjah from 7:30 PM (IST) onwards. The fans can get to witness raining sixes during the game as the ground of Sharjah offers smaller boundaries.

Chennai Super Kings (CSK)

It won’t be wrong to say that this year has been the worst IPL season for CSK so far. After playing six matches, MS Dhoni and co. have four losses against their name. Their previous encounter against Kolkata Knight Riders also came with a defeat for last year’s runner-ups.

Cricket experts from all over have criticised their playing style and team selection in this tournament. Moreover, their batting order is also something that received massive backlash right from the season began. With an expectation of high-scoring clash, it would be interesting to see if CSK plays Kedar Jadhav against RCB or not.

RCB vs SRH — ***Royal Challengers Bangalore***

Virat Kohli and his side have had a decent outing so far in IPL 2020. In five games, the Bangalore-based franchise collected six points to find a place at the fifth spot in Points Table. Skipper Kohli too found his lost form in the last two encounters.

RCB’s most expensive buy of this season Chris Morris has recovered from the injury and will be available for the clash against CSK. His ability to play big shots at the middle-order will play a crucial role for Bangalore against the experienced bowlers of Chennai.
