Royal Challengers Bangalore and Chennai Super Kings will play against each other at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in the 24th match of the Indian Premier League 2023 on Monday. Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni will be facing off against each other one more time and the fans are excited to the hilt.

The Southern Derby in the IPL will be keenly watched by all cricket fans in India and around the world. The encounter could be a high-voltage clash and, in all likelihood, will be very keenly contested.

Ahead of the game, Faf du Plessis made a big statement on MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli. He said that Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni are icons of Indian cricket and that he is expecting a full house for the big game and predicting it to be an amazing atmosphere at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium.

RCB and CSK have witnessed some amazing thrillers, over the years, at the stadium and the fans will be hoping for nothing less when it comes to Monday’s game.

RCB and CSK have won and lost two matches each in IPL 2023 so far

The small ground at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium should give the batters a run scoring spree against the bowlers. The short boundaries coupled with the fast outfield will ensure a six hitting fest.

CSK and RCB are at 6th and 7th position at the points table. Both teams have lost two matches and won two matches each. Both sides are going into this encounter with four points in their kitty. The Bold Army and the Yellow Army have been facing death bowling issues.

CSK are the better batting side going into this encounter. The batting has clicked for RCB, but they have had their middle order muddle. The RCB think tank needs to get their decisions right in the crunch match against CSK.

It is safe to say the decision to send Harshal Patel at number 5 ahead of Shabaz Ahmed and Dinesh Karthik was bizarre.

CSK have had lot of injury problems. They will be hoping that they won’t face anymore injury issues going into the tournament. For RCB, it is time to use the confidence that they got from the win against Delhi Capitals. The Bold Army will want to get a string of wins and consolidate some momentum at home.
