The fight between CSK and RCB promises to be a blockbuster affair. Despite contrasting backgrounds, both teams maintain an exhilarating rivalry for various reasons. While it is evident that both teams are massively popular, the other is that they feature India’s two great captains in action—Virat Kohli in Royal Challengers Bangalore and MS Dhoni in Chennai Super Kings. Cricket fans can’t afford to miss the clash between ice-cool Dhoni and fiery Kohli. Both are unique in their approach and handling the game. The CSK skipper is calm and plans all his strategies behind the stumps. Kohli adopts a different approach and likes to play boldly, going all over the stadium. MS Dhoni believes in ‘slow and steady wins the race formula’ – a strategy that gave them five championships. Kohli likes fearless cricket and feels like dominating the opponents right from ball 1.
MS Dhoni has led CSK since its inception, making it one of the most successful teams in IPL history. CSK aims at its sixth trophy, as this could be the last tournament for its skipper. Despite appearing in a few finals, RCB failed to clinch the trophy. Kohli, undoubtedly, will be looking to get his hands on his long-desired maiden title.
The RCB captain, Faf du Plessis, is all set to face his former teammate, MS Dhoni, in the compelling opening game on March 22. Here are both squads.
Royal Challengers Bangalore – Faf du Plessis, Glenn Maxwell, ViratKohli, RajatPatidar, AnujRawat, DineshKarthik, SuyashPrabhudessai, Will Jacks, MahipalLomror, Karn Sharma, ManojBhandage, MayankDagar, VijaykumarVyshak, Akash Deep, Mohammed Siraj, Reece Topley, Himanshu Sharma, Rajan Kumar, and Cameron Green. DineshKarthik, the wicketkeeper-batter, will likely play his final IPL campaign this year and hopes to play an essential part.
