Kohli was out for 18 runs. On the second ball of the fifth over, he was caught out in the hands of Jadeja for a big hit to hit Shardul Thakur. For the first wicket partnership between them and De Kock was 35 runs. Although Virat Kohli may have returned to the pavilion early, AB de Villiers did not let the pace of fast runs down but made it faster.
In the 13th over, Shikhul Thakur, who came into bowl, de Villiers made three consecutive sixes. The half-century from the first ball of Shardul Thakur, De Villiers completed his half-century. In just 25 balls, he completed his 50 runs with the help of six sixes and two fours.
Dhoni gave the first toss to RCB
Harbhajan Singh and Imran Tahir were replaced in place of Faf du Plessis and Karn Sharma, while there were two changes in the Bangalore team, Manan Vohra and Chris Woakes replaced Pawan Negi and Colin de Grandhom. The Chennai team has won four matches from five matches so far, while the Bangalore team has lost three out of five matches.
It will not be easy to face Chennai with Mahendra Singh Dhoni's captaincy for Royal Challengers Bangalore, captained by Virat Kohli. Dhoni's team has faced only one defeat in five games, while Bangalore has won only two matches.
Chennai Super Kings
The batsmen of Chennai have done a fantastic job in every match. Shane Watson and Ambati Rayudu are in the salute duo form, which can prove to be dangerous against the attacking bowling attack of Bangalore.
Chennai, under Suresh Raina, Dwayne Bravo and captain Dhoni, can win matches from anywhere under any circumstances. All three of them have the capability to give a big score to the team and can reach the team till any goal.
Deepak Chahar has been impressed in bowling, Deepak has also got good support from Shardul Thakur. Both have played five and four matches, and have taken six or six wickets respectively. All-rounder Watson is also included in the bowling alley of the team. In spin, leg-spinner Imran Tahir and Ravindra Jadeja have proved to be very effective for the team.
Royal Challengers Bangalore
On the other hand, there are names like Kohli, AB de Villiers, Mandeep Singh, Quinton D. Coak and Brendon McCullum in the team of Bangalore, but none of the batsmen, except Kohli, have been performing according to their fame.
Kohli has scored 231 runs at an average of 57.75 in five games. De Villiers played 90 runs in 39 balls against Delhi Daredevils and if he continues to perform like this against Chennai then it would not be great pleasure for Bangalore.
The problem of Bangalore is not getting the right winner. The team is eagerly looking forward to Yuswendra Chahal and Washington Precious in bowling. Chris Woakes has also impressed in the bowling and has taken eight wickets in his name. Umesh Yadav's name also has eight wickets.
Playing XI:
Chennai Super Kings: Mahendra Singh Dhoni (Captain / Wicketkeeper), Ravindra Jadeja, Suresh Raina, Dwayne Bravo, Shane Watson, Ambati Rayudu, Harbhajan Singh, Sam Billings, Deepak Chahar, Imran Tahir, Shardul Thakur.
