The match that everyone is waiting for is going to happen on Monday at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore. Chennai Super Kings will face Royal Challengers Bangalore at this ground in IPL-2023. This match is a match between two very big stars of world cricket, MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli, but in this match two of their favourites will have to survive.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni is the captain of Chennai Super Kings. Under his captaincy, Chennai has won the IPL four times. On the other hand, the captain of Royal Challengers Bangalore may be Faf Duplesey but Virat Kohli is the life of this team. Kohli captained Bangalore from 2013 to 2012 but could not win the title.
Maxwell must survive
Bangalore has one stormy batsman. One of them is Glenn Maxwell. If Maxwell's bat goes, he can put any team in trouble. But Dhoni has the bite of this stormy batsman and he is Ravindra Jadeja. . Jadeja has dominated Maxwell in IPL. He has hunted Maxwell six times in 10 innings.
A stormy batsman like Maxwell has been able to score only 49 runs in 40 balls in front of Jadeja. Jadeja has not only kept Maxwell quiet, he has also kept Virat Kohli quiet. Jadeja has bowled 131 balls to Kohli and given only 140 runs.
What will Gaikwad do?
Rituraj Gaikwad has emerged as the new discovery of Chennai. He is continuously raining runs with his bat. But this right-handed batsman gets stuck against left-arm fast bowlers. In such a situation, Royal Challengers Bangalore have Van Parnell and David Willey, who are left-arm fast bowlers. He can prove to be a problem for Gaikwad.
Gaikwad has been dismissed against left-arm fast bowlers 11 times in 19 innings and this figure is from 2020 till now. Since then no other right-handed batsman has been dismissed so many times by a left-arm bowler.
