Preview :

Royal Challengers Bangalore will be squaring off against Chennai Super Kings for the second time in the forty-ninth match of this season of the Tata IPL.
The Royal Challengers Bangalore have now lost their previous three matches in a row and have slipped out of the IPL 2022 playoff places. There is still time for them to recover and they will be hoping to pick up a win against the inconsistent Chennai Super Kings.

CSK is now back under the leadership of MS Dhoni and it was almost as if a switch had been turned on. They got past SRH with ease and picked up their third win of the season. CSK, though, has yet to win two matches in succession this season.

RCB has three losses in its previous three matches but it is still in fifth place in the IPL 2022 standings. There were a couple of positives to take away from its loss to the Gujarat Titans in the previous match, primarily the fact that Virat Kohli scored a fifty.
However, the fact of the matter is that Virat Kohli's 58 off 53 deliveries probably played a major role in RCB's eventual loss. Will that time spent in the middle allow him to play with freedom? We are not sure and would advise betting on him at this time.
Rajat Patidar, Glenn Maxwell, and even Mahipal Lomror played quite well. Faf du Plessis and Dinesh Karthik have been both scoring runs and that gives RCB a pretty strong batting lineup. They just need one of their big players to stand up and play a big inning.
We like how Maxwell has been playing and would bet on him to score runs.
RCB's bowling lineup had a poor outing against the Gujarat Titans. It is still one of the better bowling lineups in IPL 2022, though. Josh Hazelwood, Wanindu Hasaranga, and Harshal Patel lead the lineup with support from Maxwell, Siraj, and Shahbaz.

CSK was back under MS Dhoni's leadership in the previous match and things seem to fall back into place all of a sudden. The big positive was the batting of Ruturaj Gaikwad. After having a terrible season, he found his best form and struck 99 from just 57 deliveries.
His opening partnership with Devon Conway was worth 182 runs and so it is safe to assume that these two players are going to be opening once more.
Robin Uthappa, Ambati Rayadu, Dwaine Pretorius, and MS Dhoni will form a strong middle order with Jadeja and Santner to add depth. This batting lineup needs Shivam Dube for the power boost and he may come in if he is fully fit.
The bowling lineup for CSK has been a big problem this season. They have struggled for any kind of control at the death and their spinners have not been great either. Now, however, the pitches are starting to get a bit slower and offer some more help.
We think this is the time when MS Dhoni will be able to extract the most out of his bowling lineup. Jadeja, Theekshana, and Santner will be more effective in keeping runs down while someone like Pretorius will be able to use his change of pace as well.

So far this season he has played eight matches without taking any wicket and has scored 247 runs in batting with an average of 35. But still he is the leading run-scorer from his side. Can play another big inning in today's game if plays. (didn't play in last).

The season has been full of ups and downs for Ravindra Jadeja. Not able to perform well with both bat and ball. He has got only 113 runs and has picked up five wickets. But he is a quality player and can be expected to fire.
