Recent developments that shape salmon
This CSKRCB match is full of semi-ancient incidents. CSK called Mathish Pathiran back into the XI in place of Nathan Ellis who asked for Patidar and Krunal Pandya early. RCB, on the other hand, used Bhuvneshwar Kumar in place of Rasik Salamdar for the first time to strengthen their movement pace attack and Hazelwood’s early wickets proved this.
Chepaukpich exceeded expectations. While historically a spinner-lover, today it gives less spin which has dominated batsmen like Patidara. Gaikwad's decision to field after the toss seems risky now as they face a high target. Record weaknesses of 18 in Chennai in RCB history may also hamper them but their batting power suggests a change of pace.
Expert Opinions What the Pros Say
Cricket greats have given their opinions on the match. BBC Radio Michaelvon praised Dhone's skills Philsalt stamping was eternal Dhoni style at 43. But he outsmarts even the best. Ravi Shastri, however, warned CSK that the quick fall of Tripathi and Gaikwad leaves the middle order uncovered by the RCB bowlers. Ravindra should play excellent.
Former RCB coach Shen Wotson told NDTV Sports Chepauk is difficult to penetrate for CSK but RCB batting depth is now the new addition. This is a great test for both teams. Statistics analyst Harsh Bhogle said on Twitter that Chepauke CSK's highest successful chase gives hope of 211 against LSG in 2024 but the current position of 8/2 demands a surprise.
